Moon Warrior
~~ MOON WARRIOR ~~
When the winds were whispering,
I felt nothing but the breeze blow.
Listening to the sounds left there,
Of ancestors long ago.
~~~~
You could hear the drums beat,
Chanting from the host around.
And I fell down on my knees,
Upon this sacred ground.
~~~~
A spirit then did call to me,
My child look, there upon the hill.
Gazing upward toward the big sky,
I felt this sudden chill.
~~~~
There stood a Moon Warrior,
Bathed in radiant golden light.
Shining brightly in the stillness,
There in the dead of night.
~~~~
By his side a faithful wolf,
As white as winters snow.
He mirrored the depth within me,
The things my soul did know.
~~~~
He was mighty, he was brave,
Yet I knew he was not real.
Moon Warrior had passed over,
But his form was strong like steel.
~~~~
A message he did bring to me,
His voice resounded clear.
I have not come to harm you,
Nor am I the one to fear.
~~~~
We laid down our weapons,
Our spears we put to rest.
It was as though the Sky Father,
Had put us to a test.
~~~~
Our spirits were not to be broken,
No matter the cost we paid.
Many a fine young Warrior,
We offered up in embers grave.
~~~~
You must tell our people,
That I still roam this land.
All the fighting we ever did,
They now must join and band.
~~~~
So listen to my words,
Let the peace enter your heart.
Believe in yourself and the Elders,
From your teachings do not part.
~~~~
The cold that coursed my body,
Suddenly left it warm and inspired.
Wondering of all I had beheld,
Such things which had transpired.
~~~~
The Moon Warrior turned,
Rode off swiftly as he came.
Without his telling me so,
I knew he would be back again.
