Chief Warrior Eagle

Brave Indian warrior
Sitting alone in the woods
In the soft glowing light
Of a low hanging moon
Shining on the mighty river

Brave Indian warrior
Playing the flute
The forest comes alive
Animals waking from slumber
To hear his melancholy tune

Brave Indian warrior
Deep in thought
The music lets him escape
Taking his mind of things
And focusing

Brave Indian warrior
Reflecting on the past
Thinking of all he did
All he could do
All he should have done

Brave Indian warrior
All alone now
Concentrating
Drifting away
Into exploration of the mind

Brittany, I really did enjoy this poem of a great Indian warrior. Looking back at the photo, I do see him lost in tho't..and drifting away. Enjoyed the reflecting in tho't and possible regret of what he could have done. Nice entry. Look forward to reading more of your poetry. Gwendolen
