Eagle feathers wafting down upon the tears of yesterday, soft, Moon above shedding blood-red tears of history. ~~~~~~*****~~~~~~ Remember, the feathers sing... Remember when the land was ours, when the buffalo roamed free, when we danced over the prairies, through the forests lush and green. Remember the songs of our hearts, the shawl dancers fancy dancing their dance of courtship. Remember who we are. Remember who we were. ~~~~~~*****~~~~~~ As Eagle feathers waft down upon the tears of today, a soft, Moon above shedding the tears that the Creator has shed for all those things that were taken away from us. |

Not only is the inherent message in your poem stirring, but the manner in which you conveyed it, is as well. I enjoy reading your poetry on native culture and nature. Earth Angel |

Ivy Rose - I would have loved to been back then, before it was taken away, even for just a short visit. BC |

(big hugggssssss) Oh Ivy, this is so very wonderfully said, sweet friend, I too am saddened that my ancestors lost so much and were part of a huge exodus! (sad sigh) You speak of the compassion and sympathy so well, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ivy, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
