Incoherent Musings

Moccassin Stomping
~
When it comes to real warrior status, I’ll call that my gift
Natives that don’t back down from anything are who I miss
So here goes the fix that might give me another charge
I’m not worried about going down to the depths of the dark
I’m only doing my part to really put natives on the map
Give [...]

Observations
~
By all accounts the amount of empty hearts seems too much
Just like the rights to provide a simple life is too tough
But if you know what you want is possible by what you got
Then you know there are others out there who think you’re wrong
But you don’t have to do or say anything to let [...]

Uncommon Valor
~
Those who know us just acknowledged the wrong kind
Nothing new to them, they’ve known that for a long time
We all come from a long line of natives ready for whatever
We all hold our own on our own, so who cares who’s better
We’re all contenders turned collectors of fees, dues, and fines
Each representing native nations, [...]

Objection In Court
~
I remember you by me and only thinking this is where I need to be
I can’t forget the relief in me when old habits were set free
That’s when you gave me thoughts of how I can be the same relief

I don’t know where or when the best part of my day became you
I think after the first days I wanted to take you away for myself
That was when I noticed afterwords you nudged me out of my shell
Never [...]

Scenic Viewpoint
~
Out of all the possibilities, I’m glad to see this life
It hurt to get here, but I’m strong because of those times
More because of the lives that touched mine in their own ways
I’m thankful that we got a chance to spend together our days
I really want to add to the personal inventory I have [...]

Finding Life
~
There’s a certain hush that I get when you come into view
All senses of time and balance become too easy to lose
Trying to think through the words, but forgetting how to talk
Smiling nervously, wondering if I should chance trying to walk
Fighting to remain calm instead of lost in all thoughts of you
I have enough [...]

Focused Attention
~
Our time is better spent now than what we lost along the way
Keeping an open eye out for those of us we know who lost their braids
Who may feel lost in this place where traces of pain are everywhere
Here we dare to care when we aren’t spared a moment to prepare
The pride and love [...]
