Rocky Mountain Jay

The early morning mist
will be the keeper of my tears,
I won’t return to sleep this day.
Tonight the moonless sky
can blanket me with clouds.
Today, I’m like a Rocky Mountain Jay.

Yes, my songs are blue.
But, see how beautifully I fly,
with plumage like a Lapis Lazuli.
If you let me heal your pain,
I’ll protect and bring you peace.
I’m a wild bird but I love you dearly.

Wake up, my friend!
Carpe diem. Catch the wind.
Its time to pray to find out who we are.
Don’t go back to sleep.
Leave your tears upon the dew.
As mountain jays we’ll find the morning stars.
