Cleansing Sage

I am a son of Mother Earth,
Proud of my Indigenous heritage birthed
My heritage, strong and deep
A bond with Nature I always keep

With sage in hand and heart in peace
I clear the darkness, let worries release
From the mire, I lift my spirit high
To the Great Spirit, I send a prayerful sigh

With each smudging, a new beginning
I renew my soul, cleanse my being
From the negativity, I free my mind
Leaving the past, seeking the divine

As I cleanse my heart and my eyes
I see more clearly, no more lies
The truth of nature, I am blessed to find
A connection true, without any bind

With each smudge and cleansing sage
I feel Mother Earth's warm embrace
Her love for me, pure and true
In gratitude, I whisper, "Thank you"

My heritage, old as time and wise
This sacred ritual, it never dies
From generation to generation, it lives on
A spiritual path, forever strong.
