Red Shift
To this end of the spectrum
Where we feel the warmth of our bodies
Pressed tightly together
A tribe
Of shared blood
Rushing precious oxygen through our veins
Here we breathe together
Here we rest
As we protect ourselves
From the darkness that extends outwards
Beyond our small band
Sitting in circle
Around an orange fire
Within this halo of light we sing and dance
Rising passion expressed
Outwards
Bringing light to shadow
We tell our stories through deep of night
Reminders for ourselves
Becoming
The torches that lead
Us forward to walk down unknown paths
Just remember dear
Dawn comes
Beautiful and golden
A Profusion of yellow hues filling our sky
Shining light on all
Darkness
Recedes again
Day breaks and life awakens to begin anew
Hunt and gather
Today
Maintain yourself
For nights still to come will be just as dark
And there will be many
Many more
The forest remembers
Tall green trees hold legacies of deep time
Steady roots reach
Deep
Into the ground
Pulling the wealth of many lifetimes upward
Towards the skies
High
Above the branches
Twist and sway together in clear blue skies
Full of swirling clouds
Symbols
Of more yet to come
They say the future is written in whispers
As the winds dance
Speaking
Softly to each other
Revelations hidden in unseen movements
Still we feel them
Playing
What do they say?
You'll have to ask the stars shining bright
Ancient diamonds
Sparkle
On Purple velvet
A whole vast universe full of light waiting
For you to join in
Realize
Within Yourself
Each color between infrared and ultraviolet
A full spectrum
Experience
