In Remembrance of The People
In remembrance of The People as they were
of Customs, of Pride, of Rituals
In remembrance of the Animals as they were
of Substance shared, of Teachings offered
In remembrance of the Birds as they were
of Grace, of Majesty, of Mystery
In remembrance of the Insects as they were
of Living Wisdom, of Necessary order
In remembrance of the Plants as they were
of Flowers, of Grasses, of Trees
In remembrance of the Reptiles as they were
of Eerie Beauty, of Natural Purpose
In
remembrance of the Heavens as they were
of Clarity, of Seasons, of Spirit World
In remembrance of the Waters as they were
of Abundant Life, of Sacred Purity
In remembrance of the Lands as they were
of Freedom, of Harmony, of Oneness
Shirley Loatman Pharis 1995
