I awaken with a start, hearing a sound deep in my mind
It is the sound of horses pounding the ground while running
I am flying above them and I swoop down and soar beside them
Their nostrils flaring, and their breathing is forced and loud
I lift up into the sky and veer to the left and rise up high
I reach a current and soar with no effort
I let the wind carry me while I search the canyon
Below me the herd races on, consumed in a cloud of dust
My gaze takes me to the mountaintop, I follow the line
Diving I plummet towards a precipice and land there
Above it all now, the miles and miles of terrain stretch before me
Below me I see rivers and canyons, the cloud shadows dance
The air is warm and the smell is a mixture of dirt and wildflowers
I wait here now for whatever has awakened me
Gripping the rocks’ edge I scan far left to far right, below and above
Nothing catches my eye or draws me in
I slow my breathing and let go of the search
I know now it was not without but within
I close my eyes now with great anticipation
I can feel the wind slowly moving my body
My feathers ripple in the breeze
Slowly like an awakening I sense the object of my search is near
It rises up within my soul more tangible than the mountain
It is the stream within my soul ascending up inside me
Rushing waters tumbling and filling me up
I am the valley, I am the canyons, I am the horses running
Their is a river flowing in me and I welcome it
