Summer Ago -and- Poetry Pantry No. 100

summer cicada

enchanted songstress 

waited unafraid

on the redwood

hand rail

above creek

under trees

a gift

 ***

watching from

the shadows of time

ancestors

understand

my love

always the

land belongs

to them

morning takes

my hand

we walk

stories of this

float into

my soul

humbling

to be touched

for eternity 

sacred fire

brands my

heart

kindred

peace

sweet

absolution

drips like

honey

threads of time

weave together

past and present

veiled hatred

unable to

destroy a

gentle people’s

history

Tunica Biloxi walk here to this day....

❤

the beginning of Tunica Biloxi

* inspired by the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe 

Nature Board Walk, Marksville, Louisiana
