THE LODGE


A vision of harmony

People dancing in the woods

A sky of pure black

Sprinkled with the Milky Way

Embrace this time

Open your heart

And see the others

All gathered in a circle

A lodge in the forest

See yourself reflected in the rocks

The heat rising and surrounding

Comforting in innocence

Perfect in essence

Sharing all that you are

No demands

Except what is inside

Tell the story of the elders

Speak of the old ones

Take them into your soul

Realize the truth

Youth never leaves

Question knowledge

Explore self

Dry heat into night bliss
