"Song to the Four Winds"
I dance to the East—
where the sun is born,
where the eagle carries prayers
to the high sky.
I dance to the South—
where the warm wind sings,
where corn grows tall
and the river runs gentle.
I dance to the West—
where the day lays down,
where the mountains guard
the secrets of the old ones.
I dance to the North—
where the stars are sharp and clear,
where winter teaches
the strength of stillness.
The ocean breathes at my feet,
the wind lifts my robe like wings,
and I am the daughter of the horizon—
turning, turning, turning,
so the world will keep its circle whole.
