Picturing the image of the Wind Talker in your first stanza draws us in as you eloquently write of the history on how much the Native Americans have lost as the Wind Talker plays his flute. The lines " so much has been lost, so much" is haunting as we are left to wonder of the plight of the Native Americans long ago and now. Enjoy this honor my friend you deserve it and as Rob Dufrense said above thank you "for just being you" and for the kindness you bestow upon others, it is a gift to us all.<br /><br />Love Sandra S.

Wind Talker is a poem that touches the hearts of those of us who value the great reverance Native Americans have for the nature of the land.
