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.

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~

| ConSue you definately have an affinity with your ancestors every poem of yours shows the emotions living deep within your heart. The white man has a long way to go to reach the soul of an Indian, May the great Manitu look after you and guide you through this life. from martha and bernard. |

How beautifully you write Sue. You draw the reader inside and make one feel as though they have lived through these emotions and time.
Makes me ashamed to be white.
The whole poem was phenomenal reaching out to many hearts. The music is also very beautiful.
Your talent is endless
Love ya Angelxxxx |
