heart memories



I touch the leather lace
wrapping the hoops,
tie the web with care
down to the hard tight middle
that makes it so beautiful

then I close my eyes
to a prayer before adding
feathers and beads...
let them carry my thoughts and blessings

cutting fringe of deerskin
Hawk feathers near the top

I make the dreamcatcher
with my hands,
and remember ancestors with my heart.

    This is wonderful poetry and I love dreamcatchers too... no wonder you always write with such clarity and vision, PK. Wonderful interpretation of the "native "theme here.

    Cultural diversity is the spice of life. To remember one's past of the ancestors brings us all home. A feeling of peace and belonging! Dreamcatcher...to catch your hopes of the future and to remember your past! ~Sie

    So love touches
    strands of connecting earthen trophies
    gather in spirit
    re-born in heart-song
    drifting walls in timeless measure
    when sun-link smile at eastern rising...

    so beautiful...thanks much for entering
