Fire Spirits

Posted by JPamonicutt

Six warriors joined together in the handle of a fan
They strengthen their grasp as it hits the floor
Six fallen warriors
Opened the fire spirits door

In a swirl of confusion
She reaches down to grasp
These fallen warriors
With a desperate gasp

Searching for answers
With tears in her eyes
She finds her father
Who won't tell her lies

With words of encouragement
She surrenders the fan
In a jingle dress prayer
This journey began

She prayed by the fire
Apologies offered
Tears flowed
As he held her like a daughter

In the midnight hush
A spirit came
With a brilliant smile
He eased the pain

A bridge was formed
From here to there
A sisters love
Beckoned a brothers care

As eagles flew
And realizations came
The fire spirit
Found his way

He crossed the bridge
Into this world
To deliver a message
To this hurting girl

She lost her feathers
And found her way
The Creator heard her
As she cried and prayed

Her brother came
And carried away her fears
He smiled at the man
Who wiped her tears

As the sacred fire burned
And she opened her eyes
Her spirit grew
As high as the eagle flies[/color]
