*Image of Algonquian Papoose by Wikipedia. Algonquian Papoose A tribal warrior searching for want The great abyss secures the tale A hawk dives down to retrieve what is lost Returns without, it was a fail. Pursues the quest, perchance a dove may help Its genteel spirit might awake Like the hawk, the dove dives down the abyss The time is longer, so he waits. The dove returns, and what was sought, it brings A man child that was fast asleep The tribal warrior attempts to wake Yet, like the abyss, sleep is deep. He ponders a thought and calls the white doe In a blink, it stood before him It drops its head and nibbles the fresh herbs Saunters and licks the child with vim. Trails of herbs criss-cross its face as eyes pierce A mouth yawns and body stretches An Indian born enlarges the tribe Tradition pact hereof sketches. 2019 June 21 A BRIAN STRAND 1095 ~~Brian Strand
