Mask.

Stone, bark, feather

c2011 (S)


I paddled upon a great river

Stepping ashore, casting aside my burden

You were there to greet me

Do you recall that day?

Do you remember what you said that day?

That was the day you gave me a stone,

And a feather, and a piece of birchbark

I thank you for your words and your gifts

They come straight from the heart

That's all I was really looking for.
