She Awoke

Updated: Jul 2, 2020

Her eyes were opened,

Bright and clear like a full moon

Over an obsidian lake at midnight.


Her senses deepened,

As her heart pounded her chest

To the beat of her iPod songs


She heard her voice, she thought she had lost

To the blurred visions that were painted for her.


She awoke to find herself

To be who she wanted to be.


Independent like a jaguar in the jungle.


She had to slap herself with the reality

That she was the cause

Of her dreams,

That her purpose was her own.


She was who she is,

A 31-year-old Navajo Lady,

That can and will hold her own.

A Navajo Lady that needs to go back to

The roots

Of her family tree.

Learn that archaic language and

Teach what she knows.


She awoke to find herself

In her mother’s shoes.

Drawing energy from above and within.
