Soaring Bird this was my name,
When I lived on the Dakota Plain,
Tepees in the clearing, surrounded by tall trees, but not too close together,
Of my lives, If I could choose I would want to go back there and live forever,
Of that my first visit, everything was so natural,
All was happy, all was content,
When I recall my memory it makes me sad to think that it’s gone,
Forever? Or will I get the chance to relive the tranquil ness of being,
I miss this so much, inside I cry for that life gone by,
I too had a wife; we were so much in love,
Gentle, tender moments that drifted into the sky,
There was a large wide river, slow moving, ambling by,
I cannot emphasize just how much,
The strength of feelings really did touch,
I wish I could paint as I can see,
Of this I would paint through eternity,
I could not help, but go back again,
Once then twice, but then,
I stood near the river talking to The Chief, my friend,
Two children ran by, chasing each other with laughter and joy in the air,
Then a cry, sound of running horses,
This was an attack and not by no white man,
These were Indians too, but definitely not Sioux,
The Chief and I quickly looked round,
Tepees on fire, Braves caught unaware trying to defend all that was there,
Where is my wife, with hoks’icala?
Fierce and fighting ensued, then they were gone as quickly as they had hit,
My wife lay dead still holding our still alive baby boy.
The pain was too much at this I came back,
Only once more did I try to go back and see,
It must have been a few years later where I returned,
There I was wrestling with my son, he must have been about five maybe six now,
I have never returned since,
I thought best left alone, but .... maybe one day.
Many Moon Blessings
Soaring Bird |
