The Beauty Way



The Beauty Way


1.
Down below I am sitting,
earth, sky, Tortoise,
short rainbow--
growing things, falling rain;
beads swinging,
perfect shell disk
down below I am sitting.

2.
Sky
Mount Taylor
Mountain Lion;
long rainbow,
falling rain, growing things,
swinging beads, perfect shell disk,
call of Cornbeetle
down below I sit.

3.
Badger
Yellow-bill
Badger tail;
lightning struck close by,
growing things, falling rain,
heads swinging, perfect shell disk,
down below I am sitting.

4.
Rain is close
rain passed by
Bear
Salamander
swinging beads
shell disk
rainbow
falling rain
growing things.

Navajo Song
