21st Century Tribe

She does a ritual dance
Around the melting pool
Praising the crimson swirl
The storm before the calm

The ceremony begins
The blades are drawn
He bows to worship
Inhaling the rapture

With gathered gusto
They sound the chimes
Calling a chant
Baptized in the amber river

That was our rite of passage

Now she sits
Contained by walls

He wanders
Without a shrine

They search
For the end of the river

We all sit together
In this 21st century tribe
Warriors
Telling tall tales

This is our atonement
