Inspired by the original oil painting by Peter Teekamp, which can be found here: http://peterteekamp.com/enlarged/pipe.html.
Smoke of sacred pipe,
spirit pony and warriors rise,
dance under myriad moons
in visions of animals revered.
Echoes of thundering herds
as Bison cross prairie lands.
Broad antlers of majestic elk
stretch from foothills to plains.
Lord of eagles glides over all
from forested mountain aeries,
gliding on canted wings
in honor of hunters of old.
Ancestral chieftain approves,
nods to young seeker of peace
in visions of what was before,
as smoke dissipates to dream.
Casey Mack (2009)
