Offering

Offering

let the wind enfold you
the waters calm and cleanse you

the sky open its breadth to you
and the winged ones

soaring into the light
of a new day

tracing your shadow along the way
unwinding before you

let your soul be shaped by
the seams of native stone

in the soil holding
the shape of your sole

and your cloak conform to the
angular disposition of
the difficult hours

into the sun
carrying you home
