Grandfathers Pathway
We are of one great spirit family
each walking the road of many colors
Be it Red, White, Black or Yellow
We are all of one glorious Spirit Grandfather
Do we take more time than one day
or do we call His name each hour ?
Grandfather's smile lights our waking moments
His touch and breath leads us ever on
Have we made time to behold the glory
of His majestic beauty and splendor ?
Gifts of sight... touch... hearing... and smell
All are there if we but savor each moment.
Hurried days pass into creaking limbs,
as bodies begin to fade into the shadows
Can you behold only darkness or His glory
That shines brightly of eternal promises ?
All possess the choice of spiritual grace
for Grandfather lives within our mortal being
To live in His spirit, is to be joined eternal
in this life and far beyond this moment

Spiritual Hunger
Spirit Father, hear my spirit soul cry out
I long to feel and touch your presence
I search my heart for action and deeds
Knowing it is I, whom have strayed
as my spirit cries for its' shepherd
Each day I find that life has pulled me
further from your strength and wisdom
Yet you return to me as you gather me
into your loving arms of grace
Your warming chill to light my day
I walk the meadows and woodlands
behold the glory of Grandfathers touch
A fallen feather, spider webs of silver
reminders that His spirit lives within
minuet and mute to those who sleep
Sound of all living, drawing breath
your spirit calls to me, for it is I
who must return from wandering
to heed and obey His spirit voice.
You speak to those who listen

Shadow People
We live in all of Creation
within the trees that fall
Birds that fill the Heavens
life in all the unending seas
Coming from within Mother Earth
we remain and ever will be present
After greed and foolishness destroying
yet we will remain and live
We are the hands of Grandfather
His living spirit is all complete
As darkess brings an end to now
each tomorrow belongs to Him
What little He asks, we will not give
Each rich gift He gives is destroyed
Grandfathers love is time of which we waste
How long will His patience endure

{Ah dasha hay} We Praise Him
I walk in silence to praise my spirit Grandfather (the Creator)
This day I ask Mother Earth to bless me with her gifts of prayer stones.
Giving liberally, I must now pray wisdom to choose the right sacred stones.
Being raised a Christian, I realize I have no need for them
But it remains a part of my lost Native Heritage that I feel I must cultivate.
As I walked and meditated in His spirit thoughts and cultures seemed to blend
Words bubbled from within of another age lost ...
my lips found form as my spirit claimed their meaning
Foolishness ? perhaps, are we to question our inner spirit ?
Words long dormant, passing through our blood
the same as physical traits of our parents.
Sight... and sound... echo through the woodlands.
I thank the earth for her bounty to sustain her children
though they treat her with great disdain and greed.
Our spirit is the only spark of truth
we can fully rely upon to guide our pathway of life
