Never taking more than needed the land flourished under their care,
There was enough for them and enough to share.
Truly we should have learned from them. Thank you, Walt. Love and peace to you,

And I think you really did sit and reflect on this in their ancient mountain home! I do too, and there are some facts in here I didn't know. And so true, they lived with the Land and Spirit NOT against it in mad competition. Thanks for this important poetic reflection...
Later, Michael |

| Love it, Walt. The way you blended history, the sadness of what man has done to man and nature, all blended perfectly with the touch of a skilled poet. The picture is perfect for the poem, too. |

For hundreds and hundred of years, too. And how sadly fast, we changed all that.

You could have tittled this one "About Land's Rape" because from a pristine land it is now more like a sewer we will left behind. No heritage to our children's children.

Walt, yes the wind does possess the spirit of the elders and the natives passed on...I go to Virginia where the Powhatan people have lived for many many generations. We as white men, stole so much from these peace loving nature preserving people. This is why I continue to write my Karena series, we must always remember those people who were here way before the white man ever stepped foot on this country.
I love your sentiments in the very well written poem.
Nice read, thank you,

You're close to Blood Mountain. Go there and you'll feel the spirit of the Cherokee and Choctaw. The mountains was red after war, hence the name. I'd love to sit on the side of a mountain with you sometime.
Great poem.
Love,

There has been some significant land preserved near me. Land which used to hold the Lenope.
I'm planing a hike tomorrow- Appalacian Trail- and to remember them.
Much enjoyed.
