she awoke that morning before the dawn Great Spirit called to her and, as the first light of dawn touched her eye she was taken to the other plane she could see herself flying above the land in another time, in another place she flew high on eagle's wing above the lake and trees amazed at Great Spirit's gifts to her and her kind the wind carried her beyond the mountains to that place where they lived that place where they existed in peace with the land in harmony with nature and gave thanks to Great Spirit for all given and, as she flew above them on her eagle's wings, their song mixed with the cry of her own voice, her own voice, now the eagle's voice singing. . . We n' de ya ho, We n' de ya ho We n' de ya ho, We n' de ya ho, ho ho ho He ya ho he ya, Ya ya ya together, they praised Great Spirit together, they were one with the land together, they shared the land and Great Spirit cared for them and loved them. . . then, the sun drew back, and she was back on this plane she remembered why she was called, and her role here and, in the distance, she heard the eagle's cry and saw the dawn for the first time. . . ------------------------------------------------------------- Note: The Cherokee song that I have included here is called the "Cherokee Morning Song", and was sung by the Cherokee to greet the dawn. Translation follows: I am of the Great Spirit, Ho! I am of the Great Spirit, Ho! I am of the Great Spirit, Ho! I am of the Great Spirit Ho! It is so, it is so. Great Spirit, Great Spirit, Great Spirit Thank you. . .  -------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sven, Excellent work my friend. You have captured her well and given us all a peek at her golden heart. She is a very special lady. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Sven~ You have touched the wings of this 'eagle' ... You have pleased the voices of the ancients. In my heritage we have a tradition of sitting the Vision Quest ... you have touched the very essence of the plane on which I stand when opening myself up for the Great Spirits to enter and bring the gifts of the past. They come - I listen. I am but the vessel into which their concerns for this earth are poured. My mission is to share with others. And it is so ... we are one. No one could be more honored than I am at this lovely piece. The Cherokee Morning Song has filled the dawning of the day for most of my life. I learned it at the knee of my great grandmother. I thank you so much for this lovely crafting. *To all who have come to know me - know that I am honored to extend the hand of friendship and to draw you into the true circle of friends. Thank you, Sven ... you soar on my thoughts. We n' de ya ho ! ~*White Feather*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

She shall forever soar not only within these walls but within this heart as well and you have portrayed her not only with your beautiful words for her but in a manner in which she deserves to be portrayed and that is with the words of her own people. Excellent penning. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |
