Poem Commentary

This is one tht came from having a Indian Shaman for a grandfather.

On the Hillside

As I stand on the hillside

With the wind in my face

I feel the eagle that flies above me

I feel the squirrel on the limb

And I know he is not afraid of me

I am at peace on the hillside.

 

The sun is setting with beautiful colors

The moon is rising with it’s white light

I feel and enjoy the power & strength of both.

I am at peace on the hillside.

 

I hear the cry of the eagle in flight

I feel his pull to join him

As I sit peacefully, we become one

I and the eagle in flight.

 

We soar through the mountains

We soar on the moonbeams

Oh, the strength , power and beauty I see

I and the eagle in flight.


 

As peacefully as I left, I return

I am at peace with the day

With the strength of the sun

And the power of the moon

I am at peace on the hillside.

The Smokey Mountains of North Carolina were the inspiration for this one. My Cherokee Grandfather took me into the mountains to teach me many things and I loved it there. Thank you for your kind words and I am truly glad that you enjoyed it.

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
