Tatanka

a thundering herd
vast and wide
ruled the great plains

a peaceful beast
with a big heart
and loving soul
serving the mother
and her children

the 'human beings'
great nomads of the west
their medicine strong
honored the earth
and healed her heart
with ceremonial sacrifice

(c) D.E. Clark

We must go back to this way of living. We need to save Mother Earth and all her creatures. Such a refreshing poem Dale.

An ode to the Buffalo that once roamed by the thousands across the plains. A beast with a gentle heart and a sound like no other that I can hear them calling through your words...

Be always safe,
Karen

Beautifully, thunderously imaged, Dale - I felt the spirit of Tatanka through these lines. Well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
