(The poem below is actually based on an old Winnemem Wintu story I was told a long time ago. It's fairly interesting, so I decided to make a short poem out of it. It has to do with their ancestral belief that the world used to be home to a type of water "Spirits" (Sirens, however you interpret it). Hope you enjoy it!)

We used to sing in the same rolling oceans
Eons away from the pain of wait for day
Breath of the sea unto the waking waters
Brings me to think, wishing for the blue memory

We used to think the ocean was forever
So far away from the sorrow and dismay
Sigh of the deep heard through the breaking waves
Sings me to sleep, dreaming of the blue memory...

My heart, fleeting ever
My soul, dying never
Our world was brought together
Then crushed like brittle heather
My home, torn in sorrow
Gone cold unto tomorrow
Kindness cannot be borrowed
My home has not been harrowed

Now we awake, brought unto the present of our sea
Nothing it seems but a fracture of our dreams
Lost in ourselves, without signs or identity
Too far we delved, struck in two by a helve

Brought to the light, we burned in its glory
Too long it seemed that we wallowed without mean
Now that we rise, we see what has become of us
Our home now dies, retribution of our lies...

What have we seen? What have we done?
Why do we now burn in the presence of the sun?
And now it seems too long we dreamed
For the world has changed since it last begun

The sea now sleeps and the world is round
It appears that the answers we sought were found
Our race of cold has been unbound
And the oceans have turned to a slumbering sound
Why were we chosen to pay for the sin?
Why now is the price payed by our kin?
It feels as though our world was skinned
And the oceans we swam were long since thinned...

Now we have seeked we have finally found the answers
Our home has changed since we last came
We dreamed too long, thinking we were forever
We sang a song, but to the ocean it belonged

Our home is weak, but it can be remade
Though is is fell, it is nothing close to Hell
We can now see our dreams and our glories
But for this to be, we must leave the blue memory...

My heart, fleeting ever
My soul, dying never
Our world was brought together
Then crushed like brittle heather
My home, torn in sorrow
Gone cold unto tomorrow
Kindness cannot be borrowed
My home has not been harrowed
