Thank you, Joy Harjo
Poet Laureate and saxophone player
for your perspective on
American life that reaches
all of us with kindness and
spirit and
sometimes uncomfortable bluntness.
Thank you, Joy Harjo
for announcing the moments we become human
and declaring when the sunrise will burst forth.
Thank you, Joy Harjo
for reminding me that we all have
a Council of Guardians watching over us,
gently pushing us to be the best version
of ourselves, and never letting us get
away with less.
Thank you, Joy Harjo,
for helping us to remember
to dance
and chant
and allow the rain of
history to drench us in
forgiving truth.
