| Her Five Sons by � eaglespirits02 Four raindrops fell on his face as he looked up No clouds were over his head The clouds had separated Clearing a path in the sky The young boy could see further than her ever knew possible He could see Spirits dancing around Mother Earth Could hear their cries Their heart beats with every beat of the drums Then he could see his four brothers Who were killed as fighting Warriors that same day They each cried one teardrop That fell on his sadden face Four Eagles flew from his brothers Spirits Down to the Red earth Bringing him gifts Four Eagle feathers Four more teardrops fell from his brother's eyes He too shed four tears, no more Then the clouds began to cover the path to the Great Beyond He kept his gifts in his headband Wore them with the same Pride As the Eagles that once owned them No harm would he ever face as long as he kept Those feathers close to his soul The feathers were stolen by the force of the mighty wind That day, His young life was taken from him The clouds began to separate in the sky The path of the Great Beyond was there to see Five teardrops fell on their Mothers face As she looked up, she could see her five Sons Could feel their weeping hearts Five Eagles soared down to the Red earth Giving her sadden heart five Eagle feathers One from each of her fallen Sons Five more teardrops fell on her face She too cried only five tears, no more Then the clouds covered the path in the sky She held on tightly to her five gifts She reached her arms up into the sky Letting her five gifts soar off into the grasping fingers Of the hungry wind That same day, She joined her Sons that were waiting With no more tears to shed Anne Leach |
