Rain over Wounded Knee

Rain Over Wounded Knee is a meditation on grief, memory, and the enduring spirit rooted in one of the most painful chapters of American history. This poem walks the prairie where silence carries old echoes — where raindrops fall like whispered prayers, and the land remembers every vow, every wound, every life touched by sorrow. Through thunder, drums, and ghostly swaying grasses, the piece reflects on the strength that survives beneath generations of loss. The rain becomes a blessing, a quiet act of remembrance, transforming grief into renewal. Where tears once fell, wildflowers rise — a reminder that even in places marked by tragedy, resilience continues to bloom.
