Dreamcatcher

Stepping upon the broken concrete steps that were built with the blood of my ancestor roots, once worshiped of prayful peace amongnst all people; every color, race, and creed.
Longing to connect the sacred hoop within, dancing colorfully with painted faces; that of great expression from our heritage line.
Drumming sounds rush through thy spirit of our being, a sacred circle as an alter stood, my people of prideful speech, blessful meanings in transitional change that we journey through.
Totem poles of many allies put together with grace and care, craftmenship of great spirit, knowing he's there.The drumming of our heart beat will always praise"Our Great Creator" but, with many names. Truly reasurring that movement will go on through our creative thoughts,writing and songs.
Dances to please the wonder inside and worship our land to the creation of all, we are proud to stand, mangnificent and strong. A refugee deep within that protection is given no matter what occurs, seeing visions of the four great winds speeking to "Red Eagle" in the sky. The star of everything, glimmering in our eye's. Smiling down with rushing tears, falls like water-rain nourishing us each day.
I give great thanks to great spirit, for taking me in his caring hands and making me with red clay, to manifest and create skillful dreams that I accomplish a little each day!
