Joy Harjo, is an American poet, musician, playwright, author, and the incumbent United States Poet Laureate. Her poetry contains the wisdom of a sage and the intensity of a rebel.

This particular piece is a powerful statement, reminding us to keep track and forge a conscious path for ourselves as we live and love though this life.
