In the sky
With the clouds
In my heart
With forgiveness
Through loving eyes
In receiving abundance
When I swim
When I listen to a country song
When I stand up straight
When I embrace
When I yell
Yippee!
When I am a warrior.
When I look to the mountains
And see my brothers
Etched in stone cliffs
Standing sentinel
And I with them
Charge!
Into battle
Red ruby fierceness
In the hawk’s eye
In the coyote’s yelp
In the announcement of morning
In a call of a people
In surrendering to a tear
In a smile
In a laugh
In a moment.
I receive the divine masculine
When I know through and through
“Balls to bone”
That I am worthy
I am the sparkle
I am the coyote
I am the giver
I am the receiver
I am the eye
I am the cloud
I am the universe
I am it all.
I receive the divine masculine
When I embrace my sadness
With courage
And not turn in anger
When I hold my woundedness up
To the sunlight
Like a newborn
And I
The proud mother/father/creator
Look to
Tree
Grass
Clouds
Another Human being
And see myself.
