Great Hunters My Ancestors

My ancestors have heard of the 
distance of running hooves
the hunters followed them through
wintry snow and all would proof

They were great hunters through
all the meadows of wintry limbs
the deep snow captured many frantic pilgrims
these unwanted destitute men.

Have seen their breath
within the freezing air
My ancestors could feel the sense of
many wild spirits within
The mountainous coldness lair.

Thank you so much Mark for your comment to this tribute to Native Americans. I am part Native American, on my dads side. I especially love everything about the great outdoors. Will stop by to read some of your work.
