In beauty may I walk
All day long may I walk
Through the returning seasons may I walk
Beautifully I will possess again
Beautifully birds
Beautifully joyful birds
On the trail marked with pollen may I walk
With grasshoppers about my feet may I walk
With dew about my feet may I walk
With beauty may I walk
With beauty before me may I walk
With beauty behind me may I walk
With beauty above me may I walk
With beauty all around me may I walk
In old age, wandering on a trail of beauty, lively, may I walk
In old age, wandering on a trail of beauty, living again, may I walk
It is finished in beauty
It is finished in beauty
...
Very nice. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope, in old age, lively may us both walk. :-)
ReplyDeleteMichelle, this is a beautiful post. I followed the link to the other Navajo prayer and was so inspired by the line "Come to us soaring," that I wrote another crocitation (:D) to use it.
ReplyDeleteI also (finally) got the hang of linking, per your instructions.

Lovely version of the Navajo Prayer!
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
That Navajo poet had the right idea. It is a beautiful thought and wish. Your image is what I envision when reading the words - thank you for changing the direction of my day when reading it. I hope all is well with you.
ReplyDeleteHi Terry
ReplyDeleteMy first thought on seeing you was T!!! Because I've been alphabetically updating my favourite blog links and only got as far as M today. LOL You will be there soon. In other words, i'm well, but addled. Trying to do too many things at once and I always was a girl who couldn't walk and chew gum... ;-)
I hope you're keeping well. I haven't been near your blog in ..?? Too long!

ReplyDeleteI'm losing it. I swore I answered you here, but.. nothing! I LOVED your new crow poem. It's an utter delight.
