weyhaa ya

weyhaa ya
the wind from the open land
wimpers, howls, screams
its joy and its complaint
and makes father eagle's
sacred call
echo silently
in a thousand souls
in a thousand bodies'
pacing
jumping
to the beating
to the throbbing
as ever
and ever
on and on
on and on
united
in injustice
they dance
their memory
of the mother's heart
that rocks them into safety
they write their lives
they dance their survival
with their soul shells
adorned with earthen finery
and ennobled with defiant eyes
they spread their soul wings
and follow the call
across desert and woods
across summits and depths
across grasslands and water
like a swarm of dream birds
with sparkling plumage
timelessly gliding
in the wind's
soughing
weyhaa ya
