resistance

transcendent of an Eagle
from two lives before but my
soul remains the same although
now incarnate is the lair of my spirit

i am here now, as a descendant
of Toltec/Aztec lineage which makes
my spirit strong with defiance
to fight the evil’s ware

the spirit of Eagle is still within me,  
the choice of this my transition, calls for
me to sharpen my Eagle beak with patience, 
must preen and pluck these unneeded feathers
and hone my new strong talons for the battles ahead

awaken with a smile

today, i awaken with a smile
breathe the air of life
hearing its song
tasting its sustenance

i step one foot at a time
into the day because today
i’m able to walk

if you see me in passing
and return my smile
i'll know that your heart,
your soul is in the same place
as mine

i'll pass mine on
and you do also
and our smile will
go on and on and on

be kind to one another
for that is how joy begins
such to be the make-up
of the soul within
