Mawandajai explores the sociological autobiography of an American Indian caught between two worlds: Catholicism and American Indian Spirituality.
Shadow Tree Of Life
A sovereign shadow glides over us clouds of
invisible power, orbs within our
souls dimension, spirit power, be the change.
"BE THE CHANGE"
who claims the sovereign shadow
the Sun Dancer in the shade
what we want to say, we say to the Tree
complete thoughts beyond the shadow
we blend and repeat
Time for the Tree of Life we become
the sovereign shadow from streams of oneness
now taken in a life lived
the sovereign shadow hears the call
love as in forever when there was no
shadow at
ALL
Sacred Mystery
-Darryl Barking Dog, 2014
