Grandmother Moon
Language: English 
She looks into and beyond my soul
the lacy cedar boughs creating her shadows
cedar ones weave design of midnight canvas

She looks into full light
simplicity against the ebony blues
and blacks of night sky land, 
and crystal star people

She looks into and beyond my soul
her round face of translucent beauty and light
quiet powers speak out in her name…..

we’lalin.

we’lalin = an expression of welcome
