Eagle Feather Down

Becky Norman
Elder, come and care for us.
There is an eagle feather down.
The feet stay still,
The drums do not beat.
There is an eagle feather down.
*
Veteran, go and welcome him,
There is an eagle feather down.
Fallen warrior,
Amidst us now.
There is an eagle feather down.
*
Magic bag and sacred words,
There is an eagle feather down.
Lift with respect from
Off the ground.
Eagle feather, now returned.
