Unspoken Words

A bear claw found where warriors rode A symbol of their strength Just a relic now, as time erodes the history of their presence A lone wolf howls, a tear is shed As the owl flies silently overhead Unspoken words mute tribal birth Hidden deep within mother earth A culture lost, a people gone Their arrows trampled by mastadons But their spirit can never be confined As tribal voices echo on the winds of dawn

Both people and their culture have been trampled on; hopefully the spirit will live on. // paul

Lovely but sad imagery. I would like to see some extensive research and documentation of Native American culture, religions and lifestyles across all Native American clans before this treasure is lost to the winds. Kind regards, Ian
