As an elder I have often thought about how few younger people are interested in the things we have to teach. I have listened to many Native Elders talk about the same thing. Their stories, songs and ceremonies are being lost for lack of interest. It is so sad. There is so much to be taught and shared.

             Who Hears My Song?                    

Who hears my song,

            my story, my poems?

Lonely voice

            Speaking

             in the wilderness

                 using an inner language

                         not understood.

Living a vision

                Not accepted

                 Not honored by others

           But

Laughed at

        Made fun of.

   Tossed out

       with the monthly blood

        that no longer flows.

Ties that bind

        Also strangle

For everything we are

       but are not allowed to be.

                           Laughing in the darkness

                                      Obscurity.

Hollow walls,

Narrow halls,

                  Cement

        Echo

Through the ages

Those stories not told

             Unimportant

No one to listen

              Or care

                   Anyway.

No melody to sing

While falling

           Further.
