I Am Sure
I came from a clan | ||||
whose memory | ||||
has long since faded, | ||||
Whose songs tremble | ||||
only in my bones | ||||
when the wind brings life, and death | ||||
when waves crash on the shore. | ||||
In my clan | ||||
the creative power was honored. | ||||
I am sure of it. | ||||
In my clan | ||||
children were cherished. | ||||
I know, | ||||
for I am here. | ||||
How can anyone | ||||
question my origin? | ||||
I am of the earth. | ||||
I am from the sky. | ||||
The songs endure within me. | ||||
I am sure of it. |
