Chu’si
Over seeing protection, open gateway
Others move through me, here I lay
I channel to you my vision quest
The colours of my soul I bequest
My Family, my Ancestors – the Infinite Beings
Give strength and guidance with all teachings
Grandmother medicine speaks quietly
Takes her time and walks softly
Grandfather medicine shines brilliance
With wisdom of life full experience
Mother medicine holds and keeps us safe
The energy of nurture and soft embrace
Warrior medicine is where our strength belongs
Courage and power, strong heart songs
We all have a child inside of us
We are everything and everything is us
Adoeette
Mother Earth, the womb of creation
Creative life force to birth all nations
Feel the North – open to Earth
A wealth of healing giving birth
Lay your body onto mine
Of moist flesh, my soil shrine
Cycles and seasons, gravity centre
Our cells, our circles and womb centre
Look, listen, taste and smell
Feel the goodness enter and swell
Healed and restored with gentle care
Reluctant to leave but always there
Nature’s innocent gaze through childlike eyes
Flesh and blood needs mud to survive.
Mapiya
Spirit of air arrives from the East
Under, middle and over come to feast
Eyes closed, see inside, look deep
Dream weaving, broad vision, no sleep
Stars inside you burn so bright
Psychic space of your insight
Woven threads, our lives entwine
The tapestry of the grand trine
Of father, son and holy ghost
In our body - our spirit is host
Past, present and future in a dream
Of body, mind and spirit in stream
In the sky like state the soul will roam
The Great Spirit calls us all home.
Satinka
Elementals of water are born inside of me
Wring out my limbs to set them free
Power of movement, victorious celebration
Anticipation of the sweet sensation
In this dry and barren land
Water spirits feel my command
Grandfather rock, reds are my skin
The tears of my soul aquatic akin
Flesh twists and curves the liminal space
A single drop of water, Great Spirits embrace
A splash, a trickle, a torrent, a flood
Fluid dance call rain with my blood
Liquid prayers flow up high
Heart open to receive moisture from the sky
I am presence, I shape my form
I'm absolute stillness, the calm before the storm.
Kajika
Generations before me, seen in my face
I walk without sound, silence is grace
Ancestral imprints, my cells bound
I am stillness, not even a sound
Threads of ether invisible to the eye
Strings of love that never die
Grandfather rocks of knowledge and wisdom
Heat and water, steam release freedom
Fire and earth, my spirit body
Elements of the sun inside of me
A fine vale between this world and that
We see you, we love you but no contact
Don’t rush, there’s time, always a place
I walk without sound, silence is grace.
Anpaytoo
Sacred earth, my body, my love
The fields my skin, the land above
Sacred oceans, the water inside of me
Tides of fierce and gentle sea
Sacred trees, my lungs in harmony
Breathe life and nourish each part of me
My spirit is guardian of this place
My life force energises each space
Walk light on earth, bones never depart
A kindness of spirit is a light heart.
Etu
Great Spirit it is I - The Desire Who Learns
Of human tapestry, the time wheel turns
Open wide heart, no fear found
A wealth of love, richness abound
The well of my love - it runs deep
I AM the light - your mirror to meet
Of spirit in a human form
We are the same of body born
Of breeze, of breath - I AM transparent case
Of boundless, limitless transitional base
Surrender all locks - In love just be
The shadow of the sun passes through me
Dexterous hands from Mother Nature
Reach father sky - a gift to nurture
To pray and let the soul be free
Of oneness the heart beats unity
Of WE the light and passion burns
Strength of heart - The Desire Who Learns.
The Ancestors
I am you and you are me
Universal living duality
I see you and you see me
Disguised separation, think it be
I am she and you are he
Mirrored perception, freedom key
I am he and you are she
Forget the 'I', unity 'we'
I am you and you are me
Merge duality, oneness free.
Unity
When the day breaks and its still night
The sun and moon embrace in flight
Duality ends, no light, no dark
Eternal flame, burning bright spark
Masculine and feminine in peace just be
A transcended being in harmony
No separation, the soul unified
Oneness, complete, expound, magnified.
