The Five Fingered Ones By Gary One Bull Neal
We stand upon the Mountain Our cry goes to the Four Winds Our prayer goes to our Mother below Our prayer goes to our Father above Our cry goes to All Winds The gentle breezes then reveal That pathway to our Heart
One then comes that now walks with the Winds It is the one that lead the dance called Sodizin Grandpa Martin was there at the South Mountain called Turquoise It was Grandpa’s dream of the many rainbow lodges pitched there by the spring
This one stood in the center and raised his five fingers to the people He called all the people “The Five Fingered Ones” His cry was only for Peace, The Holy Ones he said now tell us “In our hands…. We hold the Lodge of the Rainbow We All have Five Fingers, we All have a piece This is the time of no color This is the time for the 500 years of Peace” The word “they” is now gone, it is now only “we” We are the bridge for today and tomorrow We are the bridge of the Rainbow We are the bridge for the Peace! We are “The Five Fingered Ones” We are the ones of our sweet Mother’s Dream!
Grandfathers Martin and Leon now both walk with the winds Their words and songs are for all that will hear Their words and songs now travel in the gentle breezes of the winds Their dreams now dance in the winds There is wisdom for those that may choose to listen We are there among the Winds. Just feel the gentle breezes We are there among the Winds
Aho
