Shu'halo Poetry!

[hyenaskate]

The four winds:

I call to the East, where the ancient Father ascends
to all of the earthmother where life begins.
I fly through the cedars, pines, willows, and birch
as animals below me wander and search.
I call to the South, to the land down below.
Turtle stands silent, as man strings his bow
to hunt food and fur for his kin before snow.
A life will end so others will grow.
I call to the North, that Ancestors once knew.
I follow their path til it disappears from view.
Once vast in number, there stand but a few.
I hear only spirits thunder of millions of hooves.
I call to the West, to the ends of the lands,
to the Tsalagi, Kiowa, Comanche ... all bands.
Unite for the strength. Teach the young and demand
that you are the Shu'halo. Learn your tongue and stand.
My name is Freedom... I fly through this land.

Rain:

Sky is gray
As the new light appears
And the laughter of the birds is still
the clouds shed their tears
and the land drinks of this heavenly dew
puddles replace the dust
irresistible temptations for little feet
Turning my face to the sky
and feeling the gentleness of the mist
washing away my cares
filling my heart with happiness
Lifting my spirits
like the quenching of the crops
Raising my arms
I turn to the Earthmother
and give thanks for this.

Warrior:
A Warrior is the protector of
his family,clan and his tribe

A Warrior is the guardian of the
old ways so that they are not
forgotten

A Warrior is not motivated by
greed or
fame

A Warrior will not put himself
above others in need

And above all
A Warrior is the living spirit of
our Ancestors!

Bear:

Deep in slumber, dreams unending,
Wise old bear, patient, strong,
Send me dreams of transformation.
Grant me intuition along
With introspection of my life,
Inner listening, no more strife.

Wolf:

The mournful cries rise in the night.
We are seeking!
Wolves' song greets the Mu'sha so bright.
We are brace and wise!
Sleek, muscles bodies beneath the Mu'sha.
We help turn the wheel of death and rebirth!
By our magic we a send a boon
Of true dreaming!

Deer:

Woodland dreams of intuition come with the graceful deer.
I greet you, brothers of the forest.
Your gift of magic will brighten my life.
Transformation will come to me.
Like you, I stand listening to the drum beat of life,
Poised to follow my guiding spirits.

Kodo:

Rumbling like thunder o'er the prairie,
Great herds of abundance, sharing with man,
I need your knowledge to meet life's challenges,
To survive and move on with my plans.

Cougar:

Muscles rippling, free on the mountains,
Great cat of cunning, hunting and seeking,
Teach me quietness and stealth of purpose.
Show me the secrets of quiet magic.
