embers
The flames leap higher
eager, young and ever
reaching for the sky
And as the fire dances its dance
We elders sit and watch
and remember the heat and passion
of days not long ago
We wait in wisdom’s patience
we wait for the embers
and they come soon enough
their glow holds our knowledge
and warms with gentle embrace
And now we sing the song
the song of truth we know
that we are one
with the earth and sky
the fire is our Spirit
and we are brothers and sisters
and we are all one we know
with the peoples of the earth
as the embers glow......
