Nokomisag

I land in the cradled arms of a river

touched by her grace

embraced in her love

I bathe in her waters

under a full moon

praying to my grandmothers

nibi minowa giizis

for strength and guidance

for their teachings of

releasing and healing

cleansing and cycling

singing

songs

gathering

medicines

replenishing

lost strength

The full Moon rises to the East

She dances under the Birch
To the music of her soul
Bare feet against wet Earth
Freer then she has ever known

She dances a healing dance
To cleanse the invisible wounds
Buried through generations
Deep within the soul

She dances for all women
Young, weak, strong and old
Women across waters and land
Throughout all of time

She dances secret knowledge
Beats of movement and song
Mothers have taught to Daughters
Since the days of Avalon

She dances under the full Moon
Encircled by the magic
As they have for Centuries
And will forever more

River 7/10
