SHOSHONE WOMAN

Words for my mother who has gone to be with our ancestors.

SHOSHONE WOMAN



You are the trees
The grass is you
The wind
The rain
The stars

          You are peace
          Beauty is you
          Every flower
          Every child’s smile
          Every sunrise

          You are the giver of life
          All beings are you
          Four-leggeds
          Winged-ones
          Finned-ones

You are my mother
My eyes
My smile
My heartbeat
My being is you
