Word-Water Flowing ~*Marge Tindal*~  Spirits weeping ... count the tears they've fallen here before ... Along the trail of atrocities from the land of nevermore Slow moccasin prints mark the path to ancient understanding~ Lead me to the mountain through the valley of recall Along the Trail of Tears in fall ..in fall ......in fall~ There she stands in dress of white brow of gentle scorn Trying to bury the feathered past in scalding tears of mourn~ When she weeps, I feel her tears falling through me ... I touch them on the cheek-of-remember finding them still wet with Native blood ... Down~ ...down .................down they fall Then suddenly they rise ... like thoughts that have taken wing~ And she was as word-water flowing gifting me with the baptismal tears that her gentle spirit brings~ ~Dedicated to SuthernGal and Marti~ ~A small gift from SkyeLara~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Word-Water Flowing oh my. (I confess the title reminded me of that soft lightning imagery by Dark Stranger) but not surprising since you both have native american leanings in expression... and this? was like a twirl on the dance floor to read. You are so free and easy, lady.  |

Anijalagi Diegeji?ilvstanv agihliyi Gese?i You had to know that I wouldn't miss this one. And as Walela would sing......."Wash Your Spirit Clean". Much loved this piece and your dedication is just as sweet as the poem is. Aho |

Marge, Very nice. I like these native poems. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

I've read this several times now... and still don't have the words to do it justice. But it went straight to the heart... and is going straight into my library. *S* You and SkyeLara humble me... I'm so very honored. Thank you for this treasure. *S* |
