[bodytext] =>  WHITE MAN'S MOCCASINS My eyes cannot see the sun by day, My friend the moon's trail way. My mind is clear as a rippling brook, My ears hear the whisper of a warm Chinook.  I walk in Whiteman's Moccasins now. I hear the roar of his jet bird like distant powwow, I miss the meat of the Bison from the Plain I remember the corn ground fine with the grain. In Whiteman's Moccasins I live hidden In land that the paleface took we were beaten In my spirit it tells me what I see of long ago. In my heart is heavy load like dragging willow  We were brave warriors like the flying eagle. We had eyes to see beyond mountains--our moccasins were quiet and careful. We had ears to hear the Bison chew, We smell everything like our brother Wolf smell the rifle.  My journey on Mother Earth will soon be over My moccasins are not leather but cover of an antler O' Great Spirit hear my words at trail's end. Take Whiteman's moccasins from my feet, before my last winter. Created by Lovingcritters  Cheyenne July 28, 2005  May the warm winds of Heaven blow softly on your home; And the Great Spirit bless all who enter there. May your moccasins make happy tracks in many snows; And may the rainbow always touch your shoulder. ~Indian Blessing~ *Brave Warrior Smiles* [comments] => 10 [counter] => 316 [topic] => 32 [informant] => Lovingcritters [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
