TECUMSEH DREAMS…!

Cougar Oh!
… great Cougar
crouching in history!

Cat warrior
of the Shawnee.

Drops of blood yet flow,
as the river becomes
old,
and the ways we loved
die into the Sunset.

The old ways have become
just our dreaming,
… late at night.

Many have stolen the treasure
you gave to your people.

Yet your blood remains,
……… and not afraid.

Laughing into a dark storm,

… forever laughing
as it kisses the dream of the sky.

Cougar!

… alone within the cool dreams.

Cougar at home.

Remembering
… me!
