ancient song

wrote this while listening to throat singing... and sitting at a campus computer.

sing me an ancient song
in thousand tongues
by the river that bears our secrets
from the mountains
to the deepest lakes
where our souls go to rest
sing me an ancient song
of the land, of the sky
of crooked pines, juniper twigs
and the snow
that covers our footprints
sing me an ancient song
so that i, one day
may sing it too
when the sun rises
over the hills that once
heard your voice
