...and i am swimming on down to the ocean
downstream from the place where my baba died
the saltwater will preserve my scales
and phytoplankton for nourishment
...and we are on a mission to the ocean
like a big travelling family
swim on in the sacred water
collecting common energy
...and we are going to bring it back up the mountain
we are going to defy gravity
swim on against the strong current
back up the river where my mama was born
...and maybe i will have dozens of babies
or be eaten by a grizzly
all i wanna do is help my friends out
alive in our watershed
...and we are on a mission to the ocean
like a big traveling family

sun sits
on a branch
it drops water to the ground
photosynthesize
nutrient soil
willow in the snow

moonday calm it open
peace fills loss and sorrow
down by the sweet and earthen
bird song out my window
soft beats move by footsteps
warm deep in the darkness
rainsong on the doorstep
well grow like gold in august
sweetheart here and flowing
stay path peak and mountain
roots and leaves held and growing
waves wash
bare us beauty
and the beast that lay in the forest
warm moss and tiny movement
trust now and flow in the moment

pocahontas stares at the moonlight sky
over her head after midnight
thousands star lay overhead
in her glacier valley bed
she wonders over the eastern sky
waiting for the passing of nighttime
she waits patiently there
waiting for the daylight
she is waiting for the candy dawn sky
those colours sure light up her life
and she waits there for geological time
and she stays there for the rest of my life
and she waits for the candy dawn sky
she drinks the clouds as they pass on by
and sees the prairie golden lines
those yellows sure light up her eyes
and she is alive in the candy dawn sky
those colours sure light up her life

There I was
Seventeen Years Old
My Father told me that I
could not go to university
He said
"Son, your marks are now done,
"You can't even get into technical school
"You can't do nothing you damn fool.
"Where are you going? You don't know
"where you will be when you grow older than me
"Where are you from, your language is now done,
"You were in bilingual school, but you can't speak it
you are such a fool"
My daddy once told me
"Son, to get along in this place,
you must go into the working force,
you gotta be a workin' horse
you gotta pull your weight,
and get the money
to buy your own food and your own shoes,
or you're gonna lose"
My daddy once told me
"Son, this is where you go when you are done,
they will bury you in your new shoes."
My daddy once showed me the place
where my baba rest
I was only four but I knew
she is right beside you
in your heart.
That is where you start
and that is where you will end
It is not who you are,
it is how far your soul will travel
And you will live forever
in your brand new shoes
it is the way you gotta do,
and choose.
"You must go now,
and on your own now,
looking for something to do
someone to spend your life with you."
"You must go
to the places that are unknown to me
but you gotta know
which way you're gonna be
in this society."

amazing earth
how sweet the sound
that saved a scientist in me
i once was lost but now i am found
was blind but now i see
t'was earth that taught my mind to grow
through earth my heart revealed
how precious did my earth appear
they day i first wondered
through many dangers torrents and bears
i help until i am done
t'was earth that brought us safe thus far
and earth will be our home
