Indian Snow

Such white beauty is an Indian Snow.
I, known as Butterfly Woman, healer of the people, stand on this secret bluff.
Away from my village, seeking peace within my soul.
The lake from this edge, expanding as white deerskin, so beautifully across my eyes.
Thoughts float ever so lightly.
The village safe and strong.
Spring soon to come.
Work will begin again and life bursting forth to replenish our lands;
Trees and plants will bloom.
Medicines needed with words of wisdom for healing.
Soon this village will awaken such as Spring will.
And once again, our journey will begin.
But for now, peace, thoughts and rest as I watch the Indian Snow.

This book makes for a fantastic gift for those who love Indian Poetry.
