A bitter taste left in my mouth
Leaves swirling at my feet
Acrid odors of flesh burning
Funeral pyre lights up the night sky
The lonely cry of the raven
Your fear killed you
Fear of the unknown feelings
That raced through your heart
Cowed by what others thought
Led you to your own demise
Not having the courage to speak your mind
Not having the courage to let
your heart free
Led you to your own demise
I cannot cry for you
I will not cry for you
All of your words of devotion
Lies built on fear
I walk away
In the darkness
Knowing I must stand alone
Defy the people of my tribe
Defy the ways of the old ones
Gathering all my strength and courage
I brave the darkness
To walk the path of my own destiny
Clutching the spear
Tainted with your blood
I walk alone in the darkness
Seeking the path that leads to the light
Dancing among the spiral
The star people cry
Tears from the heavens above
Father moon turns a blind eye
Mother earth calls to me now
Come my daughter
Follow the star peoples tears
Seek the path of light
Listen not to coyote
For he deceives
Web woman the way she will weave
Honor the buffalo
Honor the dove
For it all comes from above

uh......WOW!!!

NICE!!!
