hawks bringing change

out on the prairie the hawks fly in strength
they tell us stories and cause us to think
how can i say it this expanse of the heart
all things are new, every day a new start
teachers and brothers, elders and friends
have brought this new day and made a new end
every moment a treasure to be awed and revered
joy immeasurable moving to tears
and there is my brother in the midst of this time
strong and true and his laughter a rhyme
song and power the hawks brought as gifts
to the prairie home where the sunset sits
