Prayer After a Fire...

Oh, Sacred Tall Ones,
I stand and weep for the loss
In the Bosque del Apache.
Sweet woods on the Rio Grande

Mother Earth,
I stand and weep
The habitat of many
Four legged, Winged, and Creepy Crawlers
Gone now.

Oh, Sweet Woods ~
I stand and weep
Mother Earth, Father Sky,
Great Spirit
I stand and weep~

We are all one,
Each connected by a thread
Of Being, inhabitants of this place we call home.
I stand and weep
Oh, sweet Bosque del Apache
I stand and weep
At our loss.





Photo from a website for the Bosque Del Apache- I believe it is a cotton wood. It may no longer be standing...I weep
