Echoes

The drumbeats have long ago silenced 
Forgotten, their rhythmical sway.
The smoke from the wanderers campfire 
Through ages has drifted away. 
Ten thousand flickering campfires 
Cold ashes returned to the ground 
The halls of the canyons no longer
The echo of voices resound
I step with a strange hesitation 
On ground where they made their last stand
Their epitaph written in whispers 
Borne gently across the warm sand
There runs through my mind like a phantom 
An image of what must have been
A simple people, yet noble
Their memory gone like the wind 
Reflecting I gaze o're the landscape
And savor a moment of peace. 
The wanderers spirit of freedom
Rides still on the wings of the breeze.
