~ ~ As I've wandered through ancestral words, through mountains crossed, and a river of pain ... the voices stirred, have long been silenced, but the echoes still remain, with a sound, that drifts within the wind, that is sadder than the rain ~ ~ ____________________________________________________ 9/21/15 For Contest: "Four Lines" Sponsor: Broken Wings

Hi Carrie. This is a wonderful poem with great imagery and feeling. Those last two lines are strong and touch something within me. One of the great tragedies of Americas history. This is a 7 and will go into my favorites. thanks for sharing, my friend.... Robert.
