High in the eastern predawn sky, I see you dancing On a long dark cloud just above the horizon, the milky glow of first light behind you. I see your face in shadow, Scarf around your forehead, Paint on your cheeks, The native healer, Gray Antelope. You come early each morning, A reminder to dance on top of the perfect stillness While desert plants wipe sleep from their eyes. High in the eastern predawn sky, I see you dancing On a long dark cloud just above the horizon, the milky glow of first light behind you. I see you dancing.
