I am a rainbow warrior
I am a white buffalo woman
We are white, black, yellow and red
We are bands of power
We are hands of holding the way forward
I am a rainbow warrior
I am a salted earthen child
We are suffered, understood, survived and endured
We are rivers of light
We are bodies of flowing movement to the sea
I am a rainbow warrior
I am a fiction becoming real
We are stories, intuition, ships and a breeze
We are bridges of love
We are knees of bending so as not to break ourselves
I am a rainbow warrior
I am a caterpillar girl butterfly chief
We are awakened, alive, fearless and free
We are hoops of never-ending divine
I am a rainbow warrior
I am an endless turquoise hoop
We are circles, shapes, energy and sound
We are musical forms
We are prose of spoken prophecy revived
We come from red
We come from orange
We come from yellow
We are the storm
We come from green
We come from blue
We are indigo and violet
It’s the me and the you.
The way forward is where I will express myself
I will show what I’ve been shown
I will grow what I’ve been sown
The way forward is my attempt to become real
I will show what once was locked inside
I will show what I feel
The way forward is a fine line crossed
Out of my misery and into the moss
Onto the soft places
Into the safe spaces
The way forward is only here because of what came before
Out of survival and fear
Holding all at my core
The way forward is a releasing of fire
Burning, refining the telling of hours
And days and years
Unstuck from the grime
The way forward is where we are ok being alone
The way forward is a different kind of home
The way forward is peaceful
The way forward is quiet
The way forward is outside the conversation
Where we see it, but don’t buy it.
The way forward is accepting what we’ve done
The way forward is choosing without completion
To start a new story giving others what is needed.
Maybe to know that we are alone together
Maybe to know you are capable of feathers
Maybe to inspire what may otherwise be lost
Maybe to warm a heart from winters bitter frost
I am a rainbow warrior
An arrow straight and Im aiming at you
I will give you what I have and you can decide what to do.
Dear Humans,
It’s ok to go without
Its ok
To ask for help
Its ok to stop the game
Its ok to say you don’t want to play
Its alright to let it go
All the pieces outside your flow
Everything they said you are or are not
Was their plot
Not yours
Be assured
Its alright to exit the survival game
Its alright to change your name
Its alright not to know
Which way to go
And surely as it is all ordained
We will never be the same.
We are rainbow warriors.
