Infinite skies up above,
Solstice shines with endless love,
A shaman walks with gentle pace,
Through trials and ordeals with grace.

He enters a trance, so deep,
And magic flows, with every leap,
On a reservation, far and wide,
Where chaos and peace collide.

Sovereignty reigns, strong and true,
A place where the earth and sky anew,
For destitute hearts, a place to find,
Comforts and joys of the mind.

And as he dismounts from his quest,
With eyes filled with wonder and zest,
He feels the astonishment rise,
In the infinite beauty of the skies.

Reflections

1. Who is the shaman in the story and what does he do?
2. What is the solstice and why is it important?
3. What is a trance and why does the shaman enter one?
4. What is the reservation and what happens there?
5. What does the shaman feel when he dismounts from his quest?
6. What does the word "sovereignty" mean in the story?
7. How does the shaman find beauty in the chaos and destitution of the reservation?
