Navajo Wind Prayer
by Wahariwah'tshe:nri
Oh Great Spirit, Oh Grandfathers,
How fortunate can one be to know such
beauty?
One can search the world over and not
find
this much loveliness. Her heart is pure,
and
radiates love and warmth.
Oh Mother Earth, It is from your womb
from
which she comes. It has to be, for she
reflects your beauty that I see all
around
me.
Oh Navajo wind, blow softly upon this
desert
rose. Embrace her always with your warm,
gentle breezes. Fill her heart with
pride and
happiness of a proud, and noble people
from
which she comes. Whisper soft reminders
in
her ear, "never forget... never
forget...."
Oh Father, the Navajo Sun,
Shine brightly down upon her path. Allow
her
to see the beauty in herself as well as
in
others. Protect her and keep her warm.
Hide
her in your absence from the despairs of
this
life. Allow her always to walk in
beauty.
Oh Woman, who walks in beauty like the
night,
I am a friend who is distant and silent.
I will care for you, always.
