spirit woman

here I am, nokomis
i am here
walking behind
following
tracking your steps

i hear you, nokomis
softly singing
your voice
dancing on the tips
of the birch trees

once burned into my memory
long before i passed
through the stars
songs to the earth

songs for my heart
reclaiming
my forgotten ways

here i am, nokomis
i am here
spirit woman
touch me
i am
'woman from the south wind'
