THE WAY HOME

Traditional peoples established
Spirit paths
Across the Earth
That were Connections
To a transcendent Realm.

We live in a land
On which there is
Just such
An ancient Impress.
Paths of Obeisance.

Paths of Respect,
Of Humility
And Worshipfulness.
Paths that Acknowledge
Our Connectedness.

Those who claim
Lordship over this Land
As theirs to Trample
Have since destroyed
The Ancient Ways.

These Broken Lines
Form a Cairn of words
Constructed
On just such a path
Of Pilgrimage.

A remaking,
In the Mind and Spirit
And marked in Words
Of this one Essential path:
The Way Home.
