Awakened

Awakened
By Pete Blake

I sit amongst entwining roots,
Within branches of ancestral tree;
I reconcile this soul they touch,
Bridging paths through sacred earth.

I feel the land within my skin,
Watch clouds in southern skies,
I wear the feathers of vision flight,
An eagle eye that flies uo high.

Across dancing winds, through Karri trees,
With the healing scent of Native Leaves,
Seasons of the Southern Lands,
Red earth beneath these travelled feet.

And I stand beneath the Southern Cross,
A tree amongst the night time sky,
Ceremonies under the silvery leaves,
A web of circles within the land.

Like the fire within the sacred stone,
The light within the earth,
The man upon the rock I Am,
Within a circle of many I sit.

I share this place of Ancient Myth,
My heart within these sacred lands,
I hear the voice of spirit song,
A song for those of sacred ways.
