The Grass Returns



 

And so he wakes to work the land
the turquoise on his silver band

And so he sows the field in sand
the eagle feather in his hand
.........
The grass returns / the seeds abound
the sun renews / the seasons round
.........
And so she kneels to knead the bread
the kninship clan and husband fed

And so she weaves the yucca thread
the mesa high where she once wed
.........
The grass returns / the seeds abound
the sun renews / the seasons round
.........
And so a boy and girl are born
the kernels blue of dry husk corn

And so they grow thistle and thorn
the flowers bright of desert morn
