I Am Standing Tall (+Udugi ꭴꮪꭹ)

I am standing tall
and standing naked
in the hall of
our liberation,
which is the hall
of the people,
the long house
of humanity.

In each other's presence
we can see to the end
of the four winds,
and day and night
become our servants,
and sun and moon
our familiar tools,
as we build
a new day.
