As night falls
So do we
Our nightman has fallen
With the rising first star
in grace to his knees,
Noche, our Grandfather Mustang
Has taken us for his last desert walk
Initiations of some other -worldly kind,
beyond words
Leaving us with hearts
cleansed Of sorrows
Every feeling embraced
Loved fully.
The night has fallen
Our Knight has risen
landing in our hearts
Forever touched
By one of the Great Ones
Taken back now by the Ancestors
Becoming One of them
Calling us to give voice
To a New World
Through
The Way of the Horse.
