OUR INDIAN DAYS
POETRY FOR CHEYENNE
by Cherokee
by Cherokee
We came here to learn
How to live and love
Sent by the Great Spirit
In the heavens above.
The great mystery
The mystery of life
How to learn to love
And be free of strife.
We spend our time
In work and play
And we fun and frolic
Throughout the day.
Wakan Tanka they call it
The sacred spirit above
The great mystery of life
We are here to love.
CHEYENNE
She spends her life
She celebrates life
Generous and brave
She is known all over
GOLDEN FLAME
Golden Flame
Red Path
Orange Optimism
Yellow Light
Green Glow
Blue Glowing
Golden Eagle

WHITE FEATHER
An Indian Princess indeed
Two feathers in her hair
In Nature she lives
They gave her a special name
SILENT VIGIL # 1
The totems stand
A silent vigil
Carved and painted
It gives me great pleasure
SILENT VIGIL #2
Day and night
In honor of
They're keeping watch
Paying respect they celebrate
INDIAN COVE BY THE SEA
A sacred place up in the hills
Where sacred trees stripped of bark
And the beautiful ocean blue
A special place on the Oregon coast
SPIRIT OF FLIGHT
Soaring high
High in the sky
Spirit of Flight
Straight as an arrow
THE POWER ANIMAL WE SHARE
As a child I dreamt of wolves
In my dreams I'd be walking up a hill
And as my recurring dream went on
Now, like you, I have a power animal
THE WOLF HOWL SOUND
Heard late at night
From our power animal
I love to hear
And if I'm with you
SOARING HIGH AND FREE
Upward and onward
Two spirits as one
BONDED # 1
Together they stand
Bonded together
In all kinds of weather
One thing is true
BONDED # 2
Cherokee and Cheyenne
Together in strength
I'm glad I am me
I was so happy
IN THE GLOW
As morning breaks
Storm clouds building
The Indian encampment
Memories of another time
THE WHITE BUFFALO
As a white buffalo I come
And with me this day
Together we share
And may we all three
THE BUFFALO I LOVE
I love to see the buffalo
The last of the buffalo
Gazing to the sun
I rarely see buffalo
THE TALKING WALL - REVISITED
Alone in the cave
Symbols of strength
A vortex indeed
A sacred shrine
SITTING WITH THE SPIRITS
Spirit of the wolf
In a spirit magic land
As in a dream she sits
Balanced and true
SPIRITS OF GRIZZLY CREEK
Cherokee and his horses
Cherokee rushes on
The water from the splash
Spirits of Grizzly Creek
GUARDIAN OF THE DREAMTIME
Guardian of the dreamtime
May you be guided in your dreams
May you be taken to realms afar
And when you return to waking state
MY SPIRIT GUIDE - THE WOLF
I have a friend, an inner guide
My faithful friend
He walks with me
There is no end
THE WOLF, YOU AND ME
May the wolf
Our guardian animal
May he direct our new journeys
And may we always be together
THE ROSE, THE EAGLE, THE WOLF
I give you the eagle and the wolf
And when they emerge
No greater powers
MY FOUR WOLVES
I have my four wolves
They are watchful and alert
They are watchful and true
I love my four wolves
TIMBER MATES
Timber mates we are
Like the timber wolf
They say wolves mate for life
I see everything that's good
MY WOLF CUBS AND ME
I love to be in my tepee
And when I fall asleep
I love my little cubs
I often sing a song
THE DEER
Seasons come
Yet the deer endure
Dear animal indeed
Like the deer
I LOVE TO RIDE MY HORSE
I love to ride my horse
I love to ride my horse
I love to ride my horse
I love to ride my horse
RIDERS ON THE STORM -
Lighthouse on the hill
A sudden, improbable stroke of fortune
A high tension natural light
Yellow full moon in the sky
Dark clouds giving way to light
I love to watch the lightning strike
THE WHISPERER'S HORSE
The Whisperer's horse
Watching over the horses below
As white as pure snow
A guide and protector of the herd
THE SACRED POOL
An aquacade of fish
An entertainment spectacle
Dolphins, whales, sharks
Marine life at its height
THE SACRED POOLS
There is a place I love to be
A place where I feel calm and serene
When I'm there I love the sound
The Sacred Pools, I love being there
DANCES WITH SPIRITS
The Spirit of Flight
Gathered around her
Birds, insects, flying fish
Throughout the skies
THE SPIRIT OF PEACE
May the Spirit of Peace
May peace dwell within
May you walk in the light
And as you go through your day
FREE TO ROAM
Three horses
Free as can be
Shoulders back
Together in the sun
DESERT SKY AT NIGHT
Bright lights in the sky
Horses on the hill
Warm evening on the desert
Oh to be there again
NIGHT FLIGHT
May your visions take flight
May your dreams be lofty
And when you awake
And may I be with you
MOONLIGHT SPLENDOR
A full moon night
The colors of the night
Wonder all around
Moonlight splendor indeed
MOONLIGHT BY THE SEA
Moonlight by the sea
Full moon in the sky
White caps crashing in
I love being there with you
WHITECAPS
Whitecapos in the night
Not giving up the flight
Brilliant in daylight
Sunlight, moonlight
I LOVE A STARRY NIGHT
When the stars are out
Oh but on a starless night
Oh but on a starry night
And the moon at its height
SPIRIT OF THE BUTTERFLIES
Spirit of the butterflies
Gay, lively, merry
Sprightly and jolly
Spirit of the butterflies
A MAGICAL WORLD
Fantastic imagery
The Flower Girl
A ship sailing there
In a magical fairy land
I DREAMT I WAS A FAIRY CHILD
I dreamt I was a fairy child
And in that fairy land
I slept upon the petals
I love being a fairy child

Passing the days
Filling the lives of others
In countless ways.

Accepts hardships and strife
And eludes joy and magic.

Always ready to give
To extend her hand.

A very special person
I call her Cheyenne.

Inner Dream
Indian Princess
Oneness Supreme.
A vision of delight
Beautiful to behold
Dressed in her gown of white.
As white as pure snow
With her a small deer
Just beginning to grow.
A spirit of the land
Blessed by inner sight
And the Great Spirit's hand
Blessed by the light
They call her White Feather
Spirit of the night.
On sacred ground
Reaching to the sky
Looking all around.
Mystical in the night
Watched over by the eagle
On wings in flight.
The totems stand tall
Telling many a story
Their symbols and all.
To stand in that place
To be with the totems
Among their love and grace.
The totems stand
A silent vigil
To the land.
The spirits there
The spirits of the land
Who linger near.
They never sleep
They stand erect
Silent wihtout a peep
A tribute to all creatures of the land
Creatures noble and great
Touched by the totem's hand.
Memories of days gone by
An Indian encampment on the slope
Overlooked by the ocean and the sky
Reach to the sun, stretch to the sky
Standing tall in a line
And the eagle passing by.
Where the roar is heard below
And the white caps splash against the rocks
With their ebb and flow.
A place dear to you and me
We will return there one day
To Indian Cove by the sea.
Spirit of Flight
Into the sky
A glorious sight.
Rising to great height
Sparkling in the heavens
Like a star bright.
Moving with great might
Upward and onward
Into the night.
Neither left nor right
Staying on course
Spirit of Flight.
In recurring dreams at night
At first they were scarry dreams
That filled my night with fright
And meeting the wolves face to face there
And oh, how they scared me so
And I'd wake myself up in fear.
I faced the leader of the pack
And befriended him right on the path
No need to retreat or turn back.
One that is always near
The wolf, a true and loyal friend
The power animal we share.
Echoing o'er the mountain above
The sound of the howl
Of the wolves we love.
We've heard it many times
Music to our ears
Like magical chimes.
The wolf howl sound
I love to be there
When they are around.
When I hear their voice
Our day will be complete
And we will rejoice.
We soar as eagles
On wings high above
With the Earth below us
The land that we love.
Softly and freely
We glide through the sky
O'er mountains and valleys
Higher and higher we fly.
Through darkness of night
Breaking through the barrier
Gaining new sight.
In God's golden land
Exploring together
Holding your hand.
Cherokee and Cheyenne
Two spirits as one
Hand in hand.
In their love true
United as one
In marriage true.
They travel the land
Exploring together
Hand in hand.
Their love is strong
And bonded as one
Together they belong.
Two people, one life
Bonded together
Husband and wife.
Strong and true
Loving each other
Like lovers do.
And you are you
And together we are one
Bonded and true.
When we said I do
I love being bonded
And married to you.
In the glow
The camp awakens
With Nature's flow.
In the crimson sky
As the Great Spirit watches
From on high.
An enchanting sight
Blessed by Nature
And the new day's light.
When we camped by the stream
Memories recalled in the night
Awakened in a dream.
To spread peace o'er the land
Blessed by the energy
Of the Great Spirit's hand.
An Indian Princess divine
Bringing a sacred pipe
A wonderful sign.
Our kind and gentle love.
And extend it to you
From the heavens above.
Never be apart
And travel as one
With love in our heart.
An animal, one of the best
Standing on the hill
Before the sunset in the west.
Rarely seen to this day
Buffalo in the field
Living the buffalo way.
Watching the sun they love
The setting sun in the west
As the stars come out above.
Sacred animals of light
When I do its a special treat
To have them in my sight.
Facing the Talking Wall
Cherokee the Brave
Standing tall.
Courage and love
Carved on the wall
Below and above.
A power spot
For those in need
Where learning is sought.
The Talking Wall
A place of gathering
For spirits and all.
Camoflaged in the rock
As the maiden sits
Listening to Spirit talk.
Spirits all around
Spirits everywhere
In the air and on the ground.
The Indian maiden fair
In buckskin dress
And feathers in her hair.
They call her Cheyenne
Sitting with the Spirits
In a magic land.
Stampeding through the water there
Watched and over-shadowed by
A hidden grizzly bear.
In the river current clear
Mounted on his stead
His team of horses near.
Turns to the color white
Giving off an aura clear
Lighting up the night.
Spirits of the light
Dancing up a storm
Stampeding in the night.
His piercing eyes so bright
Your power animal, the wolf
Dream catcher in the night.
By your power animal so true
And as you sleep at night
May good dreams come to you.
To light upon another star
Your power animal by your side
To protect you wherever you are.
May you awaken the inner sight
And from your eyes the sparkle glow
To let your light shine bright.
Who is with me every day
He is always by my side
As I go on my way.
A protector and a guide
Is with me to the end
With me he will abide.
He talks with me
We are as one
It is plain to see.
To our friendship and our love
I will always cherish my guide
The spirit wolf that I love.
The power animal we share
Always be with us
Always be near.
Of great, keen insight
May we be guided each day
In his psychic light.
As we travel afar
And always be near us
Wherever we are.
Powerful and free
In Spirit as One
The wolf, you and me.
I give you the silent strength
Of a beautiful red rose
May it fill your being
From your head to your toes.
And the strength of their powers
A power bird and a power animal
I could watch for hours.
The rose, eagle, wolf, all three
May they together
Grant peace and serenity.
Can one find
To enhance the illumination
Of all mankind.
Who are with me all day through
They provide me with comfort
And other qualities so true.
Are quick with keen insight
Eager to please
They are earnest and bright.
Serve as my protector and guide
They are always there
Close by my side.
Friendly and faithful too
Honorable and reliable
So loving and true.
Together in the night
Side by side in Nature
To our own delight.
My heart beats true
Lucky that I am
To find a mate like you.
And I have mated with you
Together we are one
I know it to be true.
When I look into your eyes
And like the wolf whose found his mate
In you, I've found my prize.
Sitting on my white bear rug
With my four wolf cubs
Feeling nice and snug.
The cubs sleep there with me
And we have wonderful dreams
In my little tepee.
For they are full of glee
We have lots of fun
When they play with me.
And feel completely free
When we play all day long
My wolf cubs and me.
Seasons go
Sunny weather
Rain and snow.
Throughout the year
With their family
Closely near.
Always in a pair
Close to each other
Throughout the year.
We are two
Close together
Me and you.
On the sand by the sea
With the white caps rolling in
Very happy I would be.
On the mountain top
Where the wind blows free
I would never stop.
On the open range at night
Under the full moon light
And the stars sparkling bright.
As I travel o'er the land
With you riding by my side
Riding hand in hand.
THE LIGHTNING STRIKE
Horses in the night
Riders on the storm
Nearby a lightning strike.
A miracle to behold
The magic of the lightning strike
A flash of light strong and bold.
An electric discharge in the atmosphere
A visible flash so bright
Flashing in circular energy there.
From the moonlight shining through
A tint of green can be seen
Mixing with the ocean blue.
From the electrical storm so true
Whitecaps rolling in
Horses in the ocean blue.
O'er the ocean blue at night
Sudden and moving with great speed
There's no greater sight.
A spirit in the night
Guardian of the herd
In the full moon light.
And sending them his love
Tending over his flock
Looking down from above.
He looks into the night
As the horses play below
In his loving sight.
Oh how he cares for them so
And watches over them with love
So they are safe below.
A spectable of fun
Swimming and diving
Performing in unison.
A perfromance so cool
Dancing to the music
In the Sacred Pool.
With small fish galore
Sea spiders, sea trout
Sea robins, sea shells and more.
In the Sacred Pool delight
Dancing day and night
In the sun and moonlight.
A place that's dear to me
A place I hold close to my heart
The Sacred Pools by the sea.
Where I go for inner rest
To see the vibrant under sea
The marine life at its best.
Standing there proud and tall
Of the water splashing down
O'er the singing waterfall.
I'm proud to be a part
I shall always love it dear
And hold it firmly in my heart.
Below and above
Dances with spirits
The flying things she loves.
Are all the flying things
All things she loves
Creatures with wings.
Swirling leaves
Seeds of dandelions
And sycamore trees>
On wings up high
With fairies and butterflies
She love to fly.
Gently flow through your day
And softly caress
Your cares away.
Your body divine
And may you be happy
And feeling just fine.
And may light flow to you
To protect you and guide you
In whatever you do.
May it always be within reach
And flow your way
The Spirit of Peace.
Standing proud
Two in the field
One floating in the cloud.
On their own ground
Enjoying the day
Roaming around.
Head held high
Trotting along
Looking to the sky.
Doing things their own way
They play and have fun
Enjoying the day.
Stars twinkling and shining bright
As a shooting star passes by
In the desert at night.
Silhouetted against the sky
Out for a stroll
Passing by.
Everything so grand
Nature at her best
In the Arizona land.
To see that marvelous sight
In the land that we love
And the desert sky at night.
On eagles' wings
As you dream at night
Of beautiful things
Positive and true
Beautiful and flowing
Bringing blessings to you.
From your heavenly flight
May you bring back with you
Visions of light.
To share your joy and fun
As we start a new journey
Under the sun.
By the ocean blue
White caps crashing in
I love spending with you.
Magic in the air
Glorious to the sight
I love being with you there.
Smells of Nature clear
The air and the ground
With you I love it there.
In the Great Spirit's sight
With you I love to share
In the full moon light.
What a wonderful place to be
When I am alone with you
Near the ocean blue.
Makes me look and sigh
Such a wonderful sight
On a full moon night.
Near our balcony there
With their mighty roar
Who could ask for more.
Near the ocean blue
Just you and me
In the moonlight by the sea.
Splashing in their flight
Giving off their light
Rising to great height.
Each wave rolling tight
Blessed by the sunlight
Kissed by the moonlight.
Giving great delight
Shooting white light
Sparkling in the night.
Day light, night night
There's no greater sight
Than whitecaps at their height.
I love to shout
My joy as I look into the sky
Watching the stars overhead high.
The sky would look so bare
Without the wonder of the stars
Dancing and twinkling there.
How I love to view the sight
Seeing the stars with delight
In the heavens twinkling bright.
Giving off its auric light
Everything is always just right
When we are together on a starry night.
On Gossamer Wings
Floating in the air
Bringing delightful things.
With great vitality
Cheerful and showy
Vivaciously free.
Radiant and bright
Intelligent and clever
Gleeful and light.
Her qualities so true
Qualities I realize
Remind me of you.
Wings of flight
In a magical world
Visions of delight.
Emergence of light
Flower in her hair
Purple and light.
In the flowers afloat
While in the blue sky
Birds flying about.
A magnificent show
A visionary world
Where anything goes.
And sprouted violet wings
And flew into a fairy land
To experience magical things.
I lived without a care
Not a worry in the world
I lived in splendor there.
Of a water lily that I love
Comfortably encased within its energy
Nestled and warmed by the sun above.
It brings much joy to me
What I love most about a fairy child
Is the feeling of being free.
