First Place

and the drums beat, beat, beat and flutes and voices float and the eagle calls me and the wolves howl, howl, howl oh, a wind is whistling, whirling, whispering come, come, come and in the stillness I am an Ojibway girl seeking my lost heritage I bow to the grandfather spirits in the sky telling them with respect that I am trying to find my place and the drums beat, beat, beat and the flutes and voices float and the eagle calls me and the wolves howl, howl, howl and a lone eagle feather drifts down from the sky as a gift from the eagle spirit to give me courage and strength for my journey

Wow i love the video used also here and for some reason as i read this i thought of valhalla, has a viking touch to your imagery and the echoing wordplay. Ah then i see its more of ojibway! How good! Very creative write. Pleasure reading this. Congrats on being on winners list
