From Your irridescent hands
~~~~~pure light
flows into a river of life.
You let it fall upon
those whose hearts open
to receive Your precious gifts.

O' Grandmother Moon,
You have cried a river
of tears, an ocean of light.
You have called for
Grandfather Owl
to speak wisely
of nature's flight,
of his earthly nesting places.
You have embraced him
in Your bountiful glowing.

Your graying strands of hair
illumining the Earth
with a white radiance.
You call to The People
who know You as You are.
When they look into the black
of night, Your face illumines
~~~~even the stars.
Brings refreshing to those
languishing in their lost dreams,
in their night visions.


Grandmother Moon...how beautiful
Your brilliant heart is,
how intriguing Your mysterious
beamed light.Night after night,
~~~~You shine alone
touching the hearts of The People,
the hearts of all those who
lay themselves down before You.
