Oh, Great Spirit
whose voice I hear in the wind
whose breath gives life
to all the world
hear me:
I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me
walk in beauty
and make my eyes ever behold
the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect
the things you have made
and my ears sharp
to hear your voice.
Make me wise
so that I may
understand the things
you have taught my people.
Help me
to remain calm and strong
in the face of all that comes
towards me.
Let me learn
the lessons you have hidden
in every leaf and rock.
Help me seek
pure thoughts
and act with the intention
of helping others.
Help me find
compassion
without empathy
overwhelming me.
I seek strength
not to be greater
than my brother
but to fight
my greatest enemy (Myself),
my fears, and my doubts.
Make me
always ready
to come to you
with clean hands
and straight eyes.
So when life fades
as the fading sunset
my spirit may
come to you
without shame.
