Hearing Our Story – v2

Shared by her, in her language

our story, of all people

around the fire, in the circle

Meaning within her story

for the four elements,

fire, water, air and earth,

The four peoples

white, black,

yellow and red.

Part of her tradition

long before the races met

interconnection and balance

With peoples, within

the elements, the earth

all precious in our Creator’s sight
