Native Sunshine

Today I will walk out, today everything unnecessary will leave me. I will be as I was before, I will have a cool breeze over my body. I will have a light body. I will be happy forever, nothing will hinder me. 

I walk with beauty before me. I walk with beauty behind me. I walk with beauty above me. I walk with beauty around me. My words will be beautiful.

In beauty all day long may I walk. Through the returning seasons, may I walk. On the trail marked with pollen may I walk. With dew about my feet, may I walk. 

With beauty before me, may I walk. With beauty behind me, may I walk. With beauty below me, may I walk. With beauty above me, may I walk. With beauty all around me, may I walk. 

In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, lively, may I walk. In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, living again, may I walk. My words will be beautiful.
