Somewhere secret, somewhere smart
Someone special made a start
Someone special did her part
By drumming and singing from her heart.
People gathered around a dirt shaped wheel
Some were sitting, while others kneeled
Holding palms slightly above the ground
Focused intently without a sound.
While making offerings from the heart
To the center of this symbolic chart
The spirits were nestled all around
No distractions could be found.
‘Oh Great Spirit We are one
With the Earth, Moon and Sun
We gather around this Medicine Wheel
It has become our Special Seal.’
Songs were sung and stories told
No contribution was too bold
The experience shed some needed light
On the souls present that Aruban night.
A night of peace under a full moon
All the people remained in tune
Humming, singing and praying too
With mind, heart and spirit all on cue.
