Denise Kester: Thunderbird's Gift
b'\\u201cDo you trust me\\u201d? She asks\\xa0Yes and yes again,\\xa0What ever comes, I trust you.\\xa0Out of the great wide open of\\xa0not knowing and uncertainty\\xa0the Thunderbird appears\\xa0opening her heart\\xa0allowing her prayers to\\xa0fall upon my open mind\\xa0into my hands, creating.\\nHer prayers merge with\\xa0my prayers and they land\\xa0where the cranes of peace rest\\xa0in the meadow of my heart\\xa0near the lake of still waters\\xa0where the quiet imaginings\\xa0create ripples of light\\xa0that catch my attention.\\nA soft lapping as the ripples\\xa0reach the shore, murmuring,\\xa0Everything\\u2019s going to be okay.\\xa0Everything\\u2019s going to be okay.\\xa0Everything\\u2019s going to be okay.'
