Sends The Raven For The Sun
9.21.2018
The sun
The truth told in open fields
The moon
The lie
For no light it yields
The moon
Tries to look like the truth
Reflecting the light of the sun
Makes it seem
Has a light of its own
But the dark side hides the lies
Those in the woods
Live none the wise
Those in open fields
See through the moon
In its motley disguise
For those in open fields
The light shines through the lies
The raven flies through open fields
Absorbs the light within its wings
The raven’s flight is straight and true
It tells no lies
The Indians knew
Named the raven
He-with-the-sun-in-his-mouth
The sun
The truth told in open fields
So the raven
He who speaks the truth
Chants the elder Smoking Feather
Medicine bag and bear tooth
Seeking wisdom
Seeking truth
And from the woods
He may feel safe
But knows the truth is lost
Looks to the open fields
Looks of longing
Looks of lust
For the sun
For the truth
Seeks the light he can trust
Sends the raven for the sun
For the sun
The truth told in open fields
The sun
Its truth
The light it yields
