The Aboriginal

You cannot capture the spirit of a people In a word, a photograph, or a song The wild horses of our nature Cannot be corralled in the narrow confines Of our preconceived notions of who we would like Or expect the other to be We are like the wind, all of us And must be free And in our freedom, in the respect we show For those who are different We give life to one another, breath Purpose and meaning The separate parts in all their splendor Contribute To the sanctity of the unified Whole. ~ Laurence Overmire
