Warriors

Putting on their

Paint

Preparing to dance

Dance of prayer

For love

Tonight

Wandered so long

The paths of

Solitude

Painted our faces

Black

With the

Ashes

But we must arise

Once again

Reborn

Leave the ashes

To the dust

Reach out again

Touch the fabric

Let the flame

Shine through

Once more

Find the magic

Here for us to

Use

Share

Return again

To the

Campfires

Dance with the tribe

Seek new mates

Move on into

Living
