Story Of The Trail Of Tears
from: Deb St. George, Publisher, Cherokee-Legends.com
A NO WAY BACK TRIP... "YEHA NOHA" Story Of The Trail Of Tears
In the story of the Trail of Tears, many Native Americans in the United States were involuntarily moved from their homes to Indian Territory in the Western United States. The trail was long and hard and many Native Americans died of starvation, disease, and exposure. Out of the 15,000 Cherokee people who started the journey to be relocated, nearly 4,000 Cherokee people died along the way.
The Wanderer
By Debbie St. George
The wanderer traveled so any steps to make her journey,
She followed so many paths that were unknown,
Her mind's eye delved into so many waiting spaces,
Where only her spirit could have flown.
It happened on a mountain-top, when she was struck blind by the sun's golden rays,
The wind had blocked her hearing and she could find no place for her hands to lay.
A vast void opened before her and she'd felt as if she'd fall,
When suddenly she found herself in a garden surrounded by a wall.
The edge of the cliff was still near, though the danger was viewed from a far,
In that timeless experience, the wanderer had traveled through many spaces,
till her vision and being had encompassed the stars
Slowly with regret, she sank into herself and her senses perceived a shock,
For she had traveled unbeknownst to herself, over the cliff and mountain-side onto a rock.
Though she was a little shaken, the wanderer was wise enough to see,
That her purpose in life was to wander, and to wander she just needed to still herself,
Just to let herself calmly be.
