 She Lived

She lived years ago.
I carry her joy and smiles.
I feel her days of love.

She carried dreams of herself.
The excitement of wonder and anticipation.
She wandered through sunny winter days with thoughts of satisfaction.
The future was set with her breath and caress.

Passing down a legacy of love and strength.
My grandmothers, grandmothers, grandmother.
Sets my life into a continuum of a journey to a trail centuries long.

A little moment of love, a quick smile.
A quiet sigh of satisfaction.
She brought me here.

 		 Sage

I grow in different stages, different heights
From the earth in which I was born
I will return
I am honored.. I am sacred
Just as my brothers
Cedar and tobacco
Just as my sister
Sweetgrass
All around me is sacred.

The Creator gave me life on this earth.
The sun warms me
and the rain quenches my thirst
I am used in prayer and in ceremony.
The smoke which elides me
carries the prayers and words
of the red man
to the Creator's ears.

I am sage
I come in many forms and kinds
I come from the earth
I will return to which I came

I am sage.
