Creation Song - Kristy Hellum

[Larry Robinson]

Creation Song

Oh tender companions of night
nourish our long dark sleeping

Help our spirits dream free again
  rattle up these tired bones
  to wake on solstice morn
  singing our own praise song

Of tumbling rocks
  we are a whitewater choir 
Om Shanti Om
   the rushing river  
Hail Mary…Marta…Maria

We are the last winter chinook
  flashing past minnows 
  full of grace 
  a swirling eddy
  the dervish dancers 
  turning turning turning
Alhamdulillah

Oh immeasurably beautiful world
   the Salmon have their own
   creation song

So must we
   find ours.

	- Kristy Hellum
