woman's circle power
drumming the four directions
White Buffalo Woman
drumming our North Country home
will the ancestors really come?
......................................
Yes
footsteps on hard snow
they dance on the shaking air
we are together
the drumming younger, faster
a howling, yipping joy
......................................
Sisters
all warm with caring
drumming the falling snow
beautiful bear shakes
a rattle from the mountains
the Sisters, our sweet home
Days 5,6,7 Writing Small Stones
drumming the four directions
White Buffalo Woman
drumming our North Country home
will the ancestors really come?
......................................
Yes
footsteps on hard snow
they dance on the shaking air
we are together
the drumming younger, faster
a howling, yipping joy

a rattle from the mountains
the Sisters, our sweet home

Oh my goodness, you took me right back to Tofino and spiral dancing with my earth sisters on the road, at the blockades, to the beat of the drum......I love White Buffalo Woman too. Loved this poem so much.
