FIRST


I lay in the grass
Half asleep
Looking to the stars

She appears to me
A beauty I have never seen
Light of Blue and green
Surrounds her

Softly she speaks
I am the Mother, the Wife
And the Sister
I am the First Woman

I see her
And understand
She is the Earth
She feeds us and gives us life

Next to her he stands
Proud and strong
Wearing animal skins
Covered in white light

With thunder he says
I am the sky
The clouds above and the rain
I am the first Man

I see in Him
That he seeds the Earth
With water and sunlight
I look at them with wonder

I know with them
Comes peace and love
Because of the first Woman
And the first Man

We are one
Unified and interdependent
Together
The future and the past

I look to my inner self
I see them with in me
Guiding me through life
Wisdom is with the first Woman and Man
