Native American Winter Solstice Poem
Echoes of the Long Night
Stillness of the long night,
Beneath cold sky's light.
Tales of old softly spoken,
In language of the token.
Ancestors' prayers swirl,
Winter airs unfurl.
Shadows and flames dance,
Solstice rites, names enhance.
Buffalo robes, chill's fight,
Snow-clad plains, still night.
Drumbeats pulse like mother's heart,
Stories, spirits impart.
Feathers, beads in sacred space,
Testament of time and grace.
Honoring sun's return,
In winter's deep sojourn.
