Changing Wind

Little Star Children fighting profusely,
Back and forth, little scenes of twinkle dust dancing, bouncing, Painting shining images in the sky for the world below.
Who is to wake up Mother Half Moon?
And tell her the news?
That finally, the wind is changing,
Blowing in her direction
Giving her the chance to fully glow again;

Coyote stops dancing with the Star Woman
Covered in star Dust he leaves her
And jumps towards the kotcha (house) of Mother Half Moon
Dusk is slowly starting to form on the earth below
And Father Sun stops the celebration,
The sunbeams stop the dance, pick up their drums
And walk behind Father Sun towards the cloud loklo (valley) of rest
And prepare for the next days celebration.

Coyote looks back towards the Star Children
Who have stopped their fighting?
And are staring at him dumbfounded,
As he gets closer to Mother Half Moon’s kotcha
Coyote grins happily like the bob-cat
And casually wakes up Mother Half Moon.

As she wakes up, the world becomes aglow with her radiating light
As she walks out and kindles the fire,
A searching wind blows into the night, and stirs the dancing embers of the fire..
The embers stop dancing and look towards the direction of the wind.
Mother Half Moon feels the change that is coming towards her,
She smiles excitedly because she knows the goodness that is coming
For her and for her people,

This goodness has already started to take place,
Her people are changing, and for the better.
There are more or them rising up and doing good things for themselves.
No longer will they let the world hold them down.
They have survived this long, and they will survive until the end of time.

The wind sweetly sings a song of joy as it blows throughout the earth and sky, the joy that is reflected inside the hearts of the people.
No longer will the sacred cycle of suffering, turmoil and unhappiness
Be a part of their lives.
This is exciting to them,
And they create a new song,
A new dance and celebration
For this new wind that has created joy into their hearts.

They thank the ancestors The Spirits of Coyote, Bear, and Eagle for this great reward.
They will remember them in times of struggle in the future,
To remind them of what they have done for them.

As the dancing, and celebrating commences on earth
Mother Half Moon is so filled with emotion
That she grows full again,
And the Star Children dance excitedly for this miraculous event.

This is a great omen,
The wind sings sweetly the song as the dance continues in the hearts of the nations of the people.
