Hi got a chance to pop in to post and read a bit;-)


Poem Artwork

 


The  lake was a bit ruffled by the wind
it made sun skipping  over its blue-green hue
look like patterns of pearlized ripples
being encircled by mountains, the lake
and unspoiled mysticism, of the forest
can seduce you into a trancelike mood
intangibles entice and daydreams ensue
how can one not succmb to such magic
it sucks you in like the spin of a casino game
Tahoe is a place for both the wild and tame
 stories by native americans will intrigue you
the tale of the *cave rock babies mesmerized me
whether quiet hikes, boating,exciting night life
It's where I love to be,it totally satisfies me


etw-2006


 


* One sacred place situated on Lake Tahoe  is Cave Rock , known by the Washoe tribe as “De ek wa dep push”, this important site is located on the southeastern shore of the Lake on the Nevada  side. The Washoe  tribe regards cave Rock as their spiritual center.


In the 1860’s it was reported that the tranquil surface was disturbed by underwater volcanic action: This is why the Indians thought there was a "sea monster" and "demon babies" that hid in a hole in the bottom of the lake.


 The Washoe believe that Cave Rock holds tremendous power that can only be approached and used by certain elders of the tribe. It is power that must only be used to restore the healing  energy of the shaman.

Many have asked me why I love Lake Tahoe! I've been to many places,but none satisfy me as much.To see why I feel that way, click below

Very nice words about a very beautiful place, Eileen. I have not been to Lake Tahoe, but I managed to make a few trips to Big Bear. I know there isn't any kind of comparison, although Big Bear Lake is beautiful in its own right. Very nice poem and appreciated the local color you geve us.
