Great Spirit, I pray to you.
Lift my Spirit.
Raise me to new heights,
High enough that I may
Look down on the great mountain.
Let me look down into the
Reflections of the sacred lake.
Let my spirit be gathered by the four winds.
Let the four winds teach me.
May the white in me learn compassion.
May the red in me learn truth.
May the yellow in me learn wisdom.
May the black in me learn humility.
Let the east wind teach me.
New light and new beginings.
Let the south wind teach me.
Sensitivity and the ways of the heart.
Let the west wind teach me.
To listen to the thunder and go within.
Let the north wind teach me.
Freedom from emotion and resentment.
Give me the strength and courage to
Follow the sacred wheel honestly.
I am she whose thoughts grow with the flowers in the fields
Hear my prayer
Aya.
~Peace~ Be still~
The Words of My Heart
In the still hours of the dawn
touched by the beauty I behold
I go to water for purification
I stand in the wind and water
to melt into the sun
The smoke from the sweetgrass covers me
and slowly drifts toward the heavens and
carries my heart's song to Creator
My words, as a thousand winds blow
through eagles in circle flight
In my humility I pray
Creator, hear me
I know you love me well
As I see you lean over Our Earth Mother from
sunset's windows
I see you dance with the leaves in Autumn
with snow drifts in your hair
I watch you play with the children
laughing by the fires
You walk on clouds, with arms outstretched
in the lightning,
your voice speaks
in the thunder
and sings with the hummingbird
You descend with the rain
You smile among the flowers
and wave from in the trees
Your glory enflames my heart
You enchant my soul
You know my needs before they are
born within me
You hear my soft whisperings
hear me now. I pray
My heart lies heavy within
My spirit cries
Freedom is not an illusion
Let not our tears and sorrow
keep us from journeys unmet
Honor is at hand
Hear me O Great One
Let us move in unison with
our Brothers of all colors
the colors of the Sacred Wheel
Let our hearts be unbound
of hatred and fear
Lead us, Grandfather
together toward a day
when we are
One People
One Heart
entwined in
One Vision
The sun upon our faces,the wind
at our backs, hand in hand,
the warriors of the
rainbow, together
Let us forever walk
the path of beauty
Let the healing of the broken
sacred Circle begin
This day~~~
my soft whisperings will be heard
shouting on the mountain.
Aya
