More about Tíssee's Walk Home (intro)

Tell me that story again, the one about the stampede.
How does it go again?

You want to know about Tíssee still?

Did she survive?

Tíssee rides the wind, the drums call her name.
She never left, she couldn’t stay.
Some storms come for us all one day.
Would you ask her not to dance?
She hasn’t got a say.

No.
The loss is great, so many will miss her.
Many wept at her loss, didn’t they?

Yes, there was immense sorrow.
Too young to meet the eagle’s gaze.
She dances with the tribe on the other side.

You mean the spirits came to take her?

Not take her guide her to the other side.
She dances with the stardust.
Her spirit intact, only her body left us.

One day it will happen to me.

Yes, one day the path will call you too.

What if I don’t want to go?
What if I am not ready?

All that will melt away.
You will know it is your time.
To find the warm fire,
when the cold surrounds you.

I will not have fear? What about Tíssee?

Whether you worry or not, you will be called just the same.
When the call comes, Tíssee like you will accept.
This world is only for a season.
When it is time to go, be glad for the good times you made.
