Horse-Runner Horse-Runner stood on the edge of the cliff high above the treetops; he raised his arms, shouted to the silhouette circling far above; Brother Eagle, you who fly high above the land, and like the Sky Father, see everything; my heart needs to know… does she see me, does she know I exist, does she feel the ache in my chest; Brother eagle, surely you know her soul better than I, give me a sign, great sky bird, something to ease the emotions pervading this body of mine. Horse-Runner slipped to his knees, hands at his side; the Eagle screeched, dove towards the cliff in a looping arc that catapulted it back to the sky; Horse-Runner looked up… a single, snow white, tail feather was falling, looping gently to the ground, a single, snow white, tail feather… a sign from the sky. w. james beard, jr. |

~Spirits Walking~ Riding the sky on feathers spread Gracefully gliding o'er mountain stream edge Eagle soared overhead - seeing all - hearing all Visioned tender maiden at edge of stream tears of joy upon her face as current moved one white feather floating within her reach The eagle spirit has given the sign she sought in questioning Where do I go to find the one who calls my heart She moves quietly upstream following the direction from which came the feather of hope ~*White Feather*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

When you write like this you touch something so deep inside me. I have never explored the Indian blood in our family but you make me want to do so... |
