sun rises and then it falls 
answer when vision calls 
ancestors within the all 
perceived within dreams
i sing to be absolved 
of clouds within my thoughts
breathe in and breathing out the  
not than focusing on flaws 
i find perfection in perspectives  bringing me closer to the gods 
taste the sweetness when i gnaw 
on the guava from the lawn 
where great grandma raised a flock of metgot famagu’on 
ya på’go’ gaige hu gi tåno’-hu ya hu su’on 
i guaifi gi hinalom-hu ni si yu’os nai tumuhon 
gi finatto-hu gi ini na tåno’ ya hu tungo’ 
i chinecho’-ku in this life 
is write this life path down and recite how 
i remembered 
it is really quite simple
i forgot 
never
