Broken chain rattles
Midnight moon howls deep sorrow—
Hound, you run wild.
Moonlight through the trees
Soft whispers kiss the night breeze
Mother’s love endures
Shining full moonlight
soft rain whispers lullabies
drifting off to sleep
Shining full moonlight
soft rain whispers lullabies
drifting off to sleep
Young sapling stretches—
forest hums with patient care—
roots and sky embrace.
River's murmur sings
Lakota youth catch the bright sun
footsteps join the flow
Warm sunlight fades,
Gentle breeze whispers farewell,
Day's end, peace remains.
Rising prices climb,
A tariff's heavy toll,
Hope withers, dreams fade.
