Eagle Rock

Eagle Rock
In the Canyon so Grand
Wings spread
On Hualapai land

Sacred carve
By natures flow
This eagle flew
And settled so

People of the tall pine
The Hualapai
Dance to their ancestors
Who witnessed it fly

Blue green water people
The Havasupai
Sing to their ancestors
With the eagle cry

The Colorado Plateau
In Arizona's fine lands
Little wonder the word
And that word was Grand

No eagle would stand
If no Colorado flow
I pray in my lifetime
That i can go

 
" Thank you nature for this carve "

There is a Rock Eagle in Georgia. I don't know if it is burial mound or not. I liked the poem. Sara
