Let me
protect you from the narrowness of men's minds,
From the
attitudes that bind you into believing
that you
are less than free to hold in your heart
all that
you will one day be.
Let me
share with you the song of the Quetzal as he cries.
Fiercely
proud, his colors throwing glinting emerald sparks to God.
Bold wings
dancing on blue skies. I am! I am! he proclaims,
as men
behold his beauty and are awed.
Why should
it be any less for you my raven haired,
earth
hued child? That your pride should be no less pure
and good
than this flight of fancy
echoing
through the wood.
Let me
sing the stars home with you and reach
as high
as spirits dare, as fertile clouds mass overhead
to shed
their lives on waiting plains. We touch the heavens
and humility,
the heart of God a blessing.
The home
we find, tranquility.
Dance
me into the Great Circle in your way, gentle and kind.
My way
is quickly paced, making me weary with regret
at mysteries
not kin to my mind.
Unlike
the kiss of rain on fevered brow,
Death
does not life beget.
Brave
heart dancing on Spirit Way
be not
trapped by this mockery of life.
Where
color takes precedence over soul's worth
and fools
with lock-step minds
are dead
before their birth.
