Walking through forest
I know I am home
Night as fallen over me
Now I am not alone
She has laid out her hand
And embraced me tenderly
The animals all give praise
I have come back safely
My brothers and sisters
Gather to my side
Exchanging hugs and kisses
I'm now with my kind
I tell of my travels
And what I have seen
I tell of my visions
All of my dreams
Food is circled
With song and dance
Children laugh and play
I'm here with lively friends
So soon the celebrations end
It is time to sleep
As I lay down my head upon my alter bed
One thought I keep
Someone was missing
Someone dear
Waiting with patience
Hope is clear
Sleep...
This poem has an air of mystery that cannot be penetrated fully. I am curious as to the backstory behind this poem, but, whatever that backstory may be, the poem has quite an effect!
