 As the eagle flies I hear the cries from a far and distant past calling me.. return and see just what mankind has cast away thrown to the side while buried deeply, yet residing here, there and everywhere... On sacred soil we have tread while tears of Nations on earth were bled seeping deep into the ground uniting each all are bound by the whispers on the wind the ancient spirits,with wisdom speak again with the rising of each dawn in new remember that the past holds truths that binds one to all and all to one in circles completed and just begun.... Listen,as the eaglef l i e s........ |

Oh, boy am I LISTENING, Donna! This was so soothing to the soul, even the tears - I understand the connection, but I forget exactly what it was called - The Vale of Tears - the Years of Tears - I know that isn't right, but it was something like that - but that we are all connected - we can heal those tears of the past - and they can soothe and wash our souls clean. I need this poem right now and I have it! That makes me a very lucky person! Thank you. - Owl |

Just lovely and always 'timely', dear Gentle Spirit~ And ... sweet Owl ... The Trail of Tears is a very sad history of what happened to our people~ The salt-water pools of yesteryear are an ugly look into the time when the TRUE Native Americans were stripped of so much and forced to walk so far across this land because of the greed of the new settlers~ Donna~ Thank you for this~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Everything about this post was pure perfection ~ and was felt to the core of my solar plexus ~ and my heart. I commend you on this. Your Cherokee blood remembers and tells the story well. Love & Native Light, Linda |

Oh, of course, Marge - the Trail of Tears - thank you for that. Yes, a sad, sad time. Humanity is so often inhumane to its own kind! I say, yet again, if only humankind (or human-unkind) could reach the civilisation of the Vervet monkey . . . - Owl |

with the rising of each dawn in new remember that the past holds truths that binds one to all and all to one in circles completed and just begun.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That's a wonderful message, and your poem is lovely and chalk full of wisdom. It's always nice to read you, Donna~ |
