Carrie Richards Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Ancestral

~   ~

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


~   ~

Robert Nehls October 8, 2015 at 8:06 AM 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.
