Grey Owl in their living past he was fed on dreams that last he would become one taken to his heart he could only become part he dreamed Indian to revere their way put his past behind to say I am one of them hidden in his skills was truth of his origin shadowed by his will Indian brothers understood and accepted he was taken in he lived Indian breathed and trapped, Indian loved an Indian but he gave all back in written word and good deed listened to earth’s creed his time short on earth his moccasins still whisper listen to the wind Grey Owl, 1888-1938 Read the story of a man who believed in the Indian way, knew truth of the land, took it to his heart as the way of the people, and wrote the truth of the land. http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/90jan/greyowl.htm [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 08-20-2001).] |
