The Representation of Illumination

The stories you have heard, sharing a bond between souls and companions. The dances you have danced, lighting a friendship with every celebration. The songs you have sung, harmonizing a spirit inside this wondrous land. You the ash wood, the catlinite, you the porcupine quills and feathers. You are the one who betoken the wolves, the lizards, and the black bears. The smoke flows through your stem to my lungs as the wind flows through your feathers. You the ash wood, the porcupine quills and feathers, which elucidate the wolf. You allow us partake in rituals, which reinforce our beliefs. You remind me of the hardships I have gone through, the fight, the struggles. You emphasize the joy and memories we have had together. Take me to the content waves on lakes and the moon shining upon them. Ease my pain, relieve me from my destitution, let me dispatch my ache. Your smoke fills my lungs as I breathe in deeply, then to relax once more Releasing the translucent swirls to soar in the midst of the starry atmosphere.
