where native dwells

 

thoughts are the language of the brain.

emotions are the language of the heart.

we have needs to break the habit of speak

but still being deeply of oneself to say.

temporality is an awareness plague 

of our minds,

ever the flash-flood 

over emotionally sacred lands.

what is native 

after all of these experiential years?

a language of inner sanctuary is lost 

as the means.

how to say with eyes, 

spoken from the heart.

for no mouth 

would have any sense to convey.

pride has taken up the stance as memory.

knowhow has humble methods of display.

life itself has become a sign language,

where comprehension has a soul quality 

to affirm.

inner life has become our primary land,

as prairies of the heart that we all wander.

sustenance is in the meager 

but gladly shared.

we all have birds as our spirit animals,

some that migrate yearly 

while others that year-round stay.

now our sacred land is a consciousness.

we are a tribe in the keeping of that.

we continue the journey

to become of the one heart.

for whatever dimensions that come our way,

receptive is forthcoming

and reverence is our embrace.

know of us loudly, 

by the silent presence of our display . . .
