Spirit Keepers Heal

 
The sacred hoop is my life wheel, circular with no beginning and no end; this infinite circle I must reveal. The teachings within help me heal, where east, south, west and north transcend; the sacred hoop is my life wheel. The great power in the four I find surreal, life I will not fake, waste or pretend; this infinite circle I must reveal. To the spirit keepers of the four I appeal, as all life aspects, seasons, elements, spiritual blend; the sacred hoop is my life wheel. I ask the sun, air, water, earth to not conceal, oh, I wish all the spirit keepers to be my friend; this infinite circle I must reveal. To father sky and mother earth I kneel, and pray for the power of four to mend; the sacred hoop is my life wheel, this infinite circle I must reveal. ____________________ August 09, 2022 Poetry/Villanelle/Spirit Keepers Heal Copyright Protected, ID 08-1478-755-09 All Rights Reserved, 2022, Constance La France Written for the Premiere contest, First Person Villanelle sponsor, L MILTON HANKINS, Judged 09/02/2022 Third Place
