The Shaman

In life are people who are blessed with a touch of kindness and feeling that share their great gift
They are able to reach out to the pain inside you and heal you with their power and to give you a lift

I have met such a woman who has embraced this art and gives of her energy to heal others such as you and I
Knowing this will make her life better she is able to reach inside you to the pain and to heal as she looks you in the eye

Gently caressing her drum which is a symbol of her power that she draws energy from in a way passed down through time in the old way
Knowing that the spirits of the world reach through her to take your pain away and heal you and take away the hurt, if not forever still for this day

As you look deep into her eyes as she reaches out to feel the power that lies within each of us she guides your spirit toward the light
Knowing that between you and she together you can teach your body the things it needs to heal itself to and not just to fight

Perhaps a gentle mix of herbs to let your mind reach out to your heart and body to begin the healing from inside
Teaching you that you need not be afraid that this is something that must come from way down deep where your soul does abide

Together you reach into that place most secret inside you where you can begin to heal the pain and hurt that you feel so much
Laying her hand upon you, you feel the power in this woman who can just make it feel better with just a gentle, caring touch

Touching you soft as she uses her power and chanting so softly in her own special way to bring you soothing comfort in her special way
You know that you join with her in seeking a way to heal yourself as you listen to her soft chanting and the touch of her hands on the drum this day

The shaman has learned things that have been passed down through time to others who have the healing gift and are willing to share
Finding someone who they can pass on this ancient knowing to so that it will not be lost and someone who will really care

The spirits of the world reach out to her and touch her as she opens up her heart to them so that they might enter inside
Knowing that she has the gift of healing they enter softly to aid her in her task of healing the pain in others with her they ride

When she needs them they come to her and add their power to hers to reach out to those in pain and in need
Going way down inside you to find your own spirit to bring it out into the light where it belongs is a powerful deed

Blessed by the power of nature that brings her something that others might find and reach out to her
We find the Shaman a woman with a true heart that does this for her love of others and it makes our heart stir
