Maker

The Great Mystery weaves  
all-color threads
Strands of light,  
patiently plaid
 
His tribute to All-Mother Sky
 
A splendiferous raiment,
Part rain, part Earth,
Fire and wind
Intertwined  
 
Sky shakes out a fragment
Then another falls
Followed by multitudes
Warriors of every hue
 
To wage battle against man's worst foes:
Poverty, greed, famine, and countless sins
 
We play the drum and sing
Dancing in firelight
Aglow with sweat
Praying for that day
