Native American Poems



I Am Spirit Singing Earth Song

I am spirit singing earth song

I am a child
Of mountains and stones
Forests and trees
Waters and lakes
Earth is my mother

She holds me in her gentle embrace
She fills me with strength
She envelopes me with love

My heart beats her profound rhythm
My ears hear her wondrous song
My feet touch her sacred skin
My eyes know her great beauty
In wild places... and in tamed

Silent joy stills my tongue of words
But when she sings, I sing

I am spirit singing earth song

That's really beautiful. I love native american poems. I have one also that's just as lovely:

Don't stand by my grave and weep
For I'm not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamonds glint on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn's rain

When you wake in morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circle flight
I am the stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die.
