Cherokee Turning ~*Marge Tindal*~  Oh, Cherokee sing your song astride a horse of paint Night of moonless sky across the valley from over hill I hear you still ~ Cherokee guardian of this night overlooks earth and her plight Knowing not when the time shall be-for the rising of the old Cherokee Watch and wait the hour is late ~ Draw ye nigh from the flood River red with the blood of the great Cherokee Along the trail he still cries the wail of the Cherokee in me ~ Turning<~~>Turning<~~>Turning Will they never be learning Stand down Great Spirit tend the burning fire It is now embered forever to be remembered Spirit Fires of ancient Cherokee <~>  ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Marge you have out done yourself this time. I remember watching old western shows and them talking about the "Cherokee Trail of Tears". What a dishonor we did to these people. They are not forgotten as long as we have you!!! |

"Along the trail he still cries the wail of the Cherokee in me" Marge, this touched me deeply. As you know, I have Cherokee blood, and this poem really struck a deep chord with me. May the Great Spirit always be with you! "Where there is great love there are always miracles" -Cather "Love heals everything, and love is all there is"- Zukav |

Wow, this is a great poem! I am much Cherokee blood, for many of my ancestors were Cherokee Indians. This poem moved me very much! Excellent poem, my friend, thank you for sharing, and let that flame burn deep inside each of our souls with love and grace! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Wonderful read Marge..my great great grandfather on my fathers side married a native american. He was a captain and met her.She lived with her tribe along the Delaware river..I am from Delaware..and her name was Ester DeerFoot..so i have native american blood in me. My mother had a pic of her but has since lost it..So i did get to see her..Enjoyed very much Marge ~V~ A poem is never finished, only abandoned. - Paul Valery (1871-1945) |

Wonderful Marge. Still trying to reach as deep as you in the spirit of your Native American writings...probably never will as will never attain your perspective or closeness. Again. beautifully done. BTW...is that a painting, statue, or combination of the two...are copies of it obtainable? jwesley |

David2~ *Smiling* and thanking you. Yes, a 'deep well of feeling' would describe it nicely. Noah~ O'Siyo, my brother. I'd like to see you search the visions of your Indian bloodlines. The flame burns eternally. Victoria~ O'Siyo, my sister. You should search your Indian roots. The Delaware were a prod tribe of people. Thank you so much for the reply and your comments. JWesley~ Keep reaching, my friend. You do us honor. Thank you. *sent e-mail info regarding the graphic Still searching. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Marge: This is so stirring and conjures up images of ancient times and trials for the Cherokee Nation. I really like the format also. Betty Lou Hebert |
