Softly, delicately
You weave the
Strands
Laden with
Gratitude, consciousness, kindness
Over your
Beloved Braided River
A gesture of reciprocity
And figuring out
Honoring the one
Who welcomes you
And receives you as none different
Tender caresses of affection and pleasure
Spun into each strand
Wafting over the braids
Settling into the glowing
Ever shifting sands
Who maintain your foot prints
Perpetually seen to soul eyes
Waters laughing again
Receiving this providing
Droplets of affection
Delivered by the few
Tasked with closing the area
For the various who got here
The prairie holding the river
Who held the cranes
For one more season
Sings softly to herself
Whereas the sky dances
Exuberantly
