i sit alone in my sacred way

reflecting on the many roads

my heart has taken

i keep keen eye for shooting stars

the ones that light the sky

with the naked love inside them

-/-/-
i turn and face my sacred truth

when no one's watching 

i see only the few gifts i have

and the need to share them

-/-/-

i take my sacred time

on this wounded earth

and with every mistake

i am closer to my creator

i know my choices ripple out like tides

making every ebb just a little sweeter

-/-/-

i dance alone in my sacred place

feeding the flames of my own creation

i send out fumbled prayers

into the night sky like embers

each one more hopeful than the last

waiting for the mountains to catch fire
