Warrior
(A Re-imagining of the ancient teachings of what it is to be a warrior.)
young warrior
bellow your heart
illuminate your spirit
touching stars
making earth tremble
throughout
student warrior
find your spirit song
let it guide you
as cleansing thunders do
rippling within
entirely
beckoning songbirds
of dawn through dusk
lonely warrior
seek your companions
find your mate
the ones who heal
challenges illusions
exposes weakness
tests notions of trust
earn theirs
warrior men
women
serve family
all our relations
mentor solutions
needed
become peace
you seek
elder warriors
grandmother
grandfather
rise above
lay burdens down
leave weapons down
become grace
always desired
earned

Artist Vasil Woodland / aka Vasyl Mushyk
Ukrainian Artist, Vasyl Woodland has given me permission to pair his art with my poetry and writings on my new website and FB Page. I hope you enjoy his work and are drawn to support him and his people however you can in your prayers.
PBS / Firing Line interviewed Lieve Schriber, a celebrated actor and descendent of Ukraine. They vetted the NPO BlueCheck and found there are no middlemen and 100% of the money goes directly to all the non-military needs behind the enemy lines. Please click here to make a donation to support Ukraine through BlueCheck.
Vasil studied under Norval Morrisseu. Norval Morrisseau CM RCA, also known as Copper Thunderbird, was an Indigenous Canadian artist from the Bingwi Neyaashi Anishinaabek First Nation. He is widely regarded as the Grandfather of Contemporary Indigenous Art in Canada. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norval_Morrisseau

Anilah feat. Einar Selvik of Wardruna - WARRIOR
Lyrics:
Reasoning lets go
and I am propelled in to you
My Skin widening...
Reasoning lets go
and I am propelled into you
Hands and arms grow
and I release what must go
My skin widening
to feel your angelic arms
Come close
so that I can melt into you
Come Close…
Reasoning lets go
and I am propelled in to you
My skin widening
to your angelic arms
Leaving this weight behind
My spine becomes light
Clean my senses
so that I can hear you
clearly
Reasoning lets go
and I am propelled into you
hands and eyes grow
and i release what must go
My Skin widening...
to feel
your
angelic
arms
Warriors move gracefully
We lay down our weapons
at your feet
take us with grace
to the other field
Can we Lay down our weapons
and the tired intellect
rise above
and...
Bring me Grace
I know you Can.
....Einar's Norse choral lyrics translated:
Unharmed to the battle,
Unharmed from the battle,
Unharmed wherever they go

Воїн (Ukrainian)
молодий воїн
рев твого серця
освітити свій дух
зворушливі зірки
змушуючи землю тремтіти
всюди
студент воїн
знайдіть свою духовну пісню
нехай це веде вас
як це роблять очищувальні громи
брижі всередині
повністю
манить співочих птахів
від світанку до сутінків
самотній воїн
шукай свою пару
той, хто лікує
кидає виклик ілюзіям
виявляє слабкість
перевіряє поняття довіри
заробити своє
чоловіки-воїни
жінки
служити сім'ї
всі наші відносини
наставницькі рішення
необхідний
стати миром
ви шукаєте
старші воїни
бабуся
дідусь
підніматися вище
лягати тягарями
залиште зброю
стати благодаттю
завжди бажаний
заробив
