Shaman Song

He sings the old songs, knows all the old ways
for he carries 'em in his bones
like an ache

This man, our guide
as we all slowly awake

This man, this witness
this courageous speaker of truth
who brings meaning
even to the most cynical sleuth

This man, who brings good
into being
just by seeing
in others
all the reasons yet
to hope

This man, and his broader scope

who makes all things better
simply by removing the fetters
that malevolence once put
into place

And by staring evil
right in its face

This man,
and his bold, yet courageous display
of doing what's right
of bringing the light
into this
long and abysmal
night

This man, who is good
and kind
and fair

This man, whose brilliant heart
will in the end
take us all
there
