Oh Spirit of the west
In the colorful sunsets that autumn brings
May I see myself as the spirit that I am
In the passing seasons of mother nature
May I know that I am one with her breath
In the crisp sounds of falling leaves
May I become aware of my connection with all lives
And may my heart sing in thankfulness for the bounty of the earth
