My Mississippi Oklahoma Choctaw Man

I see my love within the land,

Red earth splayed amidst a dusty prairie storm,

In a place where native ghosts stage an eternal stand.

Mountains and forests meet dunes of sand,

Imbued with colors the Creator has chosen to form.

I see my love within the land.

Empty fortresses with bastions unmanned

Stand broken and abandoned, nary a drill to perform,

In a place where native ghosts stage an eternal stand.

The moon and the stars, so close at hand,

Beckon the landscape to profoundly transform.

I see my love within the land.

Iridescent blue skies where eagles meet and band

Above emerald forests where deer and elk swarm,

In a place where native ghosts stage an eternal stand.

My Mississippi Oklahoma Choctaw man

Although uprooted will never conform.

I see my love within the land,

In a place where native ghosts stage an eternal stand
