“Poetry”

By Summer Redfern

Text Box: To the Mound Builders

In cadence with ancient drums, I walk
along this foot-worn path
in reverence listening
as winds rustling through the forest, talk.

Here upon this hallowed ground
Etowahan feet once trod
a vanished nation gone
save only this mysterious mound.

Spirits hover in this sacred plane
faint echoes still resound
from dust again to dust
only relics by the creek remain.

What eternal purpose shall we take,
leaving our mortal sphere,
as dust again to dust
what difference will our journey make?
