Treasures Lost

Hold my pipes Hold my feathers With this i'm trusting you With our greatest treasures One to pass among each other Maybe talk about peace Maybe talk about our lands Not disturbing our deceased One to fan the flames of progress Put back the fire in our souls Fan the flames of the future Free of all controls Now they control our treasures It's time we strung our bows Take back our pipes and feathers Take back the lands we know PALLANES

Marc, your poem truly captures the voice and spirit of Native Americans. I have read poetry written by Native Americans and that last verse could easily have been penned by one of them. Congratulations on your win in Line's contest. Sending wishes for holiday cheer, Carolyn
