After the Fire

The fighting ended long ago the remnants of a race clings to life with great tenacity Eyes gleam in the darkness the last of the Mohicans steps foward the last dance is danced the last song is being sung Only a few are left on this Earth Only a few, very few very, very few

Back to this nice poem. About Abelard and Heloise, the book I read was "STealing Heaven" not the one that is all over the internet though. I read a book written by Marion Meade.

I love the Native American culture, Matthew, and hate to see it disappearing. Excellent poem with striking images and powerful emotion! Love, Carolyn

Matt, I loved the Music Man movie, but I just don't recall that song you spoke of. Even though I must have seen the movie several times! Now let me read your poem!
