First Nations Inspired Poem.

The Prayer
Sky Father looks down on us and sighs, while Mother Earth cries for her children. We have lost our place in the Great Wheel. We no longer learn the knowledge of our forefathers and mothers. We have closed our ears and hardened our hearts like wayward children that stomp their feet and shake their fists at their surroundings. Mother Earth's Trail of Tears is marked with sorrowful footprints, bloodied with intolerance, ignorance, and hatred.
How can we find our way home? Sky Father and Mother Earth wait to greet us once more. If you look to the sunset where land and sky become one, you can see them there arms outstretched to embrace us. Our hearts need only love that which was given us, and our minds remember that which was forgotten. Then we will all be Brothers and Sisters again in the Great Village. Listen to Mother Earth's song and Feel Sky Father's strength. We will find our way home one day and be lost no more. Embrace the old ways. Mother Earth will cry no longer.
This is my prayer for us all.
