Little Girl
If I could go back and talk to that little girl
I'd say
"I'm sorry they hurt you"
If I could go back and talk to that little girl
I'd say
"I'm sorry they touched you"
If I could go back and talk to that little girl
I'd say
"I'm sorry they all leave you"
If I could go back and talk to that little girl
I'd say
"I'm sorry you didn't feel safe"
If I could go back and talk to that little girl
I'd say
"I'm sorry they tormented you"
If I could go back and talk to that little girl
I'd say
"I'm sorry you grew up so fast"
If I could go back and talk to that little girl
I'd say
"I'm sorry.....but it won't always be this way""I'm
..."I'm sorry....but you will be ok"

The Lodge
beads of sweat roll across my body
i struggle to breathe in the thick air
heat blisters appear on my arms and legs
even though i am not close to the Grandfathers
their power is so great i feel insignificant
we are small, humble being in the presence of greatness
i gasp for air and struggle to catch a glimpse of my companions
it is too dark and i feel walls closing in on me
i feel my lungs begin to collapse
an hallucination on my part, driving me insane
oddly i feel at peace as the sacred ceremony cleanses me
my body, mind and spirit
i feel a wave of nausea flow through me
it quickly passes and is replaced by splendor
i try to guess how long we've been in here
i have no idea, time ceases to exist when in ceremony
shamefully i hope we are finished soon
only the Creator knows how i'll survive
i fear i may not, but i will
i am humble and weak but am also powerful
suddenly a light blinds me and a breeze cools me
i bask in the light and praise the wind as the door is opened
then i prepare myself for the next round

Raven
raven, black as night
soaring through the dark sky
take my prayers
and send them high
take them to the wise eagle
so he can hear my cries
and take back all my sad days
and the word goodbye
help me radiate my love
so it shines like the water
show me warmth
forget loves lost
cover my heart with your wing
come and melt the frost

Trapped
I'm trapped beneath the ice
I'm struggling for air
I'm trapped beneath the ice
And no one seems to care
I'm trapped beneath the ice
I keep on kicking up
I'm trapped beneath the ice
Nothing left inside my cup
I'm trapped beneath the ice
Looking for a light
I'm trapped beneath the ice
A world of endless nights
I'm trapped beneath the ice
Finally at ease
I'm trapped beneath the ice
Being carried out to sea
I'm trapped beneath the ice
Leaving you with love
I'm trapped beneath the ice
I've finally given up

The Chase
I see you in the distance
And I give chase
You evade me
And run quietly through the forest
I catch glimpses of you
As you hide behind trees
You giggle and have a smile on your face
I call out to you
And you laugh and keep going
"Mama come catch me"
My heart swells
I'm so close
I can feel you as if you were In my arms
So I keep going....
Chasing you, my child.
