Two Native American Poems




Walk On A Rainbow

Walk on a rainbow trail;
walk on a trail of song,
and all about you will be beauty.
There is a way out of every dark mist;
Over a rainbow trail.

~Navajo Song~


 
Indian Prayer


Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there.  I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake, in morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight,
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there.  I do not sleep.
