Awesome to the winds

fable of native american

Oh great spirit of the Sky

Let me hear your voice 

Loud from all four corners of the winds

Pick up oh our great people

and lead us to the promise lands

Do not take us away for our holy burial grounds

Of our forefathers

Oh Mother earth hold our heads up high

Our people must know

Who rules these lands

rather it be us or the upcoming of the Pail face

Oh spirit of the sun and moon

Graze the land for us

our holy burial grounds are secret

and shall not be disturbed

oh great spirit

allowing this to happen in our lifetime

will only bring us closer to execution

and expulsion from our home lands

evil must be in the pail face

for we only seek peace amounts nations

We want our great society to work for the good of all

Is our ancestral history to be wiped away from the memories of the earth

will the Pail face history be the only one that counts

Oh great Spirit sustain us please.

Awesome to the winds

Fable or Truth of Native Americans everywhere.

simpleminds,
"Awesome to the winds" at first sounded like it would be the focusing of God and His great ways. So many people desire to have that inward voice and presence of a perfect love that does not leave. So much of life causes pain for so many and so many since the beginning of time have suffered in every generation, culture and land. Your poem speaks to the individuality and creativity of each human being on this earth living and dead. Beautiful poem...................Blessings. kathy
