[silver stars, every time you close your eyes,
neon lights, every time you close your eyes,
golden spires, every time you close your eyes,
ocean tides, every time you close your eyes,
broken hearts, every time you close your eyes,
angels cry, every time you close your eyes,
forest fires, every time you close your eyes,
fallen sky, every time you close your eyes]
Oblivion
I can feel change in the air
A beautiful late summers eve
But it’s heavy with an inevitable sadness
All we know is coming to an end
They want to destroy my culture
But they can never stop me
They can never take what’s in my heart
And they can never ever break my spirit
I stand on top of the ridge looking out across golden fields
an overwhelming sense of reflection
my journey
I shared everything my parents taught me
I followed the stars & I found my own path
I have traversed time
I have built new words,
I found love
I lost & I won
For a split second I feel the warmth on my skin
& then
I am gone
