Offerings of Life

her head pounding, eyes blurred.

A dream, unusual,

invading thoughts,

the chanting,

drums she heard.

Faces changing,

expressions shifting,

dancing,

feathers swaying,

fog lifting.

Earth tone colors,

a fire burns,

smoky trails lifting,

formation of hands,

time turns.

She reaches to touch,

as it slowly fades,

raindrops, and cloud shades,

the sun still there,

the moon in view,

each face changing into someone new,

gathering round

the drumming sound.

A hand holding out a single seed,

leafy sprouts, emerging yellow and green.

She wonders, what it must mean.

She tries to focus,

head pounding,

eyes blurred,

a dream,

invading thoughts,

chanting, drumming,

voices,

offerings of life heard.

Eyes out of focus,

yet they clearly see,

faces changing,

expressions shifting,

dancing,

feathers swaying free,

head pounding, yet the mind vision so clear,

chanting, drumming,

beauty of a dream, she can still hear.
