Wind Song
For a Warrior

How strong
and vital
you have become
my unflinching,
displaced
Sioux warrior
friend
while fearlessly
counting coup
on the frustrating
alien anxieties
of a dysfunctional
commercialized
culture.
To nurture further
mental
and spiritual
resilience,
to thrive
in the changing
foreign realms
beyond traditional
ancestral skies,
seek out that high
sacred mountain
where one can see
forever,
listen
to the infinite
song
of the omnipresent
Great Spirit
silently voiced
on the innermost
wind,
then return
to earthly milieu
fresh-mounted
on imperturbable
egoless equanimity.
- A.T. Williams
