Seven Stones

by Kevin Heaton

 

Gather high on a hill

at the revealing

                        center

                                 of all goodness

 

Awaken seven stones with igneous passion force

 

Come

sacred fire ember glow                        spit sparks

through smoky mystery source

 

Spirit thunder west wind

grant hollow pipes creation breath

 

Eagle prayer, sky spirit conveyor;

transport receiver pathway sight

 

               north ,south, east, west,

impart the good, sweet cherry blood

 

Native woodwind fluted songs

                                                                      sing

                             wispy songs to happy feet;

dancing through restoration quest,

and Wopela: Thanksgiving.
