"Blessings, she croons.
"Blessings to the brightness
.........of the Sun."
Bracelets bangling, riding
up and down her slender wrists.
White buckskin adorned with feathers,
colorful beads.And, she lifts
her hands to worship the warmth,
the blazing light of the Sun.She
is the dance of a thousand lights,
the grace of decades of Moon rays.
The wind gently touching the fringes
of her skirt. Each touch
embracing her, warming her soul
with life.Shimmering.
Radiant. She slowly moves
into the Sun...they are one.
A million tiny dots of light glistening
like diamonds on the breath of twilight.
Blessings flow down, rain down upon her
as she chants a Blessing Song
..........to the heart of the Sun.

the title is beautiful as is the poem and the thoughts behind is.  Your words are magical.

My perception of truth will somehow never quite be the same..and so I write.
