Sipapu
Open vast space
Colored by the tracks of time
Carved by ancient waters
Named "Great Sipapu"
By the people of peace
The doorway to the afterlife
Open to spirits both past and present
I dangle my legs over your edge
Gaze at your crevices in awe
Drink in your rich beauty with blue eyes
In your presence I am suspended in time
A gentle breeze blows
Yet all is quiet
A peaceful stillness envelopes me
I close my eyes
Dreaming that I am part of the clouds
Floating over your great mystery
I want to be absorbed into the earth
To become part of you forever
My spirit and your spirit are connected
Show me your wonders
Your secrets I yearn to know
Bring me back to life
And I will live once more.
