yes

respect
that is all anyone ever truly wants
acknowledgement of a their existence
recognition for their being
acceptance of the person they are
true respect, with out judgment
the greatest gift you can give someone-
love for who they are

when

When clouds of doubt and shadows appear

when uncertainty breaks way to fear

when lightening strikes the hearts at hand

when all you can do is feebly stand

open

open

open

open the circle and look to the north.

draw the light 

a powerful force

open the circle and look to the east

draw the fire 

warmth for the cold to cease

open the circle  and look to the south

southerly winds to blow

refreshing the spirit with all you know

open

open the circle and look to the west

to the waters so deep and blue

cleansing the doubts and shadows you knew

to the NORTH ! 

Rise free spirit!

Rise anew! 

sing, dance, refreshed and renewed.

For all is right 

and all is true.

you are in control 

of all you do. 

stand whole.

stand strong.

stand straight. 

stand for you.

close and thank. 

close and calm.

come again. 

thank you. 

now stand. 

you are you. 

look to the day bright and new.
