Pow Wows

The sound of the beating drum to the rhythm of a heartbeat The smell of the fry bread in the warm summer air makes my stomach rumble Kids running like cheetahs racing to win the candy The way the kingle dress dances Going down hill to the river to find soft feathers Eating under the shade of the big tents in the middle of the field The sound of the loud and proud singing Running out to the silent field as everyone gazes in awe at the fireworks as the ceremony comes to an end I can't wait for the next pow wow.
