Never Forgotten

A patch of Earth

 

without trees

 

rivers

 

without water

 

people

 

with no shelter

 

 

Baked in the Morning Sun

 

dried bones

 

no burial

 

Wind blown Memories...

Author notes

Death came slowly along with the parched lands...only fake history to say I'm sorry~

    The spirits of these brave people still hover over the land. Their voices not stilled by the inhumanity of the times.
    A sad, painful piece.

    This is powerful.

    I am moved by this big small poem....a poem of greatness with so few words.

    A well written tribute about the past of your people.I have intented to read about the "Trail of Tears",a very black page of America's history.They compare it with the concentration-camps,actually it was! My favorite line:"Baked in the Morning Sun, dried bones, no burial, Wind blown Memories...".It says it all, I feel sad about it,every human has the right of his burial.Sincerely

    These are stories to be passed down and recorded.One generation to another. The natural beauty of the land destroyed, no burial..Everyone deserves that, and the buffalo stripped of their coats.Only white man would have such direspect.Forgive us for the sins of our forefathers, though mine were not here but I assume the sins of Canada and say it hurts my heart deeply.I pray cry with you, and pray you can forgive us

    What can you do with the pain you hold inside you for your family of long ago? Write what lies in your heart for others to read and understand.

    Baked in the Morning Sun



    dried bones



    no burial



    Wind blown Memories...

    this poem is sad to me, memories of the past. one cannot change what happened then, no matter how one tries. I am truly sorry that life was like this and
    I wish I could somehow change that. Great poem, very powerful.

    Oh My Word!!

    This grabbed and made the tears flow down valleys where I choked on the images

    When I read the part: no water, no shelter
    and no burial...

    just saddened me...
    This tugs at the Heartstrings
    How can one take anything for granted
    after inhaling this energy
    The bones carry a message...
    in the wind...and many stories told too
    Thank You for sharing this Dear Friend
    Best wishes to You in all You do Sweet Soul
    Many blessings too
    and much love~ Desire~*~

    The bones of the dead gleam whitest in such a place... and the wind still talks to them.

    Such beauty and sadness drift through the pages entering a heart of a woman that is of the earth. My Cheyenne name Little White Wolf was given to me by Tender Wolf.
    I cherish the name.. You are a warrior ant that will never change..it is truly in your blood.

    a lesson of long ago.

    The old way of long ago and now the new ways will begin. You and I my warrior Brother can begin the new ways~ I cannot do it alone. I have a class to want to begin. But our spirit father told me soon My Blood brother of one of many tribes will walk beside me to help begin the old ways into the new ways. Are you the one Spirit father is senting to me? The one who will walk beside me? I have one book out cakked The Hertiage of the Native American My second book is called The old ways into the new ways As the Seven Nation come together. Give me your email and I will sent you the title. I have a few book of my first copy left. My new book should be out at the begining of the nEw ywar. Your Sister In peace and love of our People.
