And in my dream- I am a native girl, I stand on a high cliff soaring above; the wind is whirling, caressing me with love. Below the mighty Ottawa roars, above in the azure the eagle soars; I am one with nature and have no fears, birds are singing; flutes are ringing, time is ticking. These jagged rocks my throne, this place I like to roam; once to the horizon was my home, deep in my forest the paths are cool. See the deep pool, and wildflower jewels; I am falling and my eagle feathers twirl, and I wake up weeping, a lost native girl. ______________________ August 9, 2016 Poetry/Verse/My Native Land Copyright Protected, ID 16- 816-313-0 All Rights Reserved.
