From the mists of the spirit world, Buffalo Calf Woman called to the White Buffalo of centuries past, of a new day dawning. Clothed in pastels of soft, pinks and Nature's greens, she took her smoke dish and raised it to the Sun...smoke rising just above the mountains. A peace flute playing in sweet harmony with all of life. She saw the White Buffalo running from the heart of the vapors. "O majestic, White Buffalo," she sang, "Awaken the Sun to breathe its warm breath upon our spirits, upon our souls.Tell Grandfather Eagle we wish to soar with His Wings." The ghostly silhouette of a Red Eagle strangely excited her, making Buffalo Calf Woman desire the dance of peace, the dance of courtship. She closed her eyes.Her visions became bright magnets that drew the eyes of the White Buffalo to see ~~~~~~the empty space left open ~~~~ in her heart of love. ~~~~ |

You have penned a beautiful and serene vision in this poem..I actually saw her sitting, mesmerized by the smoke, envisioning her dream!!! |

I enjoyed this Ivy, although I know little about Native American culture. It had a peace about it. Emily |

May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

what an alluring and interesting poem, Ivy. Brought back memories of the White Buffalo movie with Charles Bronson that mesmerized me when i first saw it. Keep up the fine fine work! Great topic and poem. tSR |
