The traveling medicine man this morning came to call

So close I was to my demise a way to end it all

He shared ancient wisdom of struggle pain and strife

Challenging times are regular here through out my aging life

I have seen beauty once and again I see but pain

The sun shines bright this morning coming soon more rain

If I am to rise above the sky’s deep sorrow its vibe so cold and gray

Toxicity and anger I release aloud and pray

He coaxed me from my gloom a smile upon his lips

Rise he said no worry simply reroute your trip

A feeling swells within me now gentle calm at peace

The gift he left behind with me he said go forth and play

Carry on dear child of stars he turned and walked away
