Beneath the Hawk’s Wing

You are currently viewing Beneath the Hawk’s Wing 
        Shadowed beneath wings of might,
        A hunter waits in quiet sight.
        Eyes sharp as winds that howl,
        The hawk's cry begins to prowl.

        Silent footfalls on the earth,
        A hunt, a death, a new rebirth.
        Patient heart with arrow drawn,
        Awaits the breaking of the dawn.

        Beneath the sky’s sweeping view,
        The spirit of the hawk, true.
        Guides the hunter's heart and mind,
        To strike with power swift and kind.

        The silence roars, the pounce is made,
        Hunter and hawk, a dance displayed.
        The lesson learned, the gift is given,
        Under skies that span the heaven.

Oliver Stone, a pen name, is an author deeply influenced by Apache wisdom and the natural world. Born in Silver City, New Mexico, his life journey includes service in the Marine Corps and a career in non-profit management. Stone's connection to Apache teachings began in his childhood, as his father was fortunate to learn from Tahoma Whispering Wind, a revered Apache elder, during his time at Mary Himes' Poor Folks Farm in Dry Creek. This ancestral link to Tahoma's wisdom ignited Stone's lifelong passion for Apache philosophy and practices. Drawing from his father's teachings and his own diverse experiences, Stone now dedicates himself to bridging ancient Apache knowledge with modern-day challenges through his writing. His work, including "Spirit of the Wild: Reconnecting with Nature's Wisdom," aims to help readers reconnect with nature, find inner peace, and live harmoniously with the earth, reflecting the deep respect for nature and interconnectedness central to Apache philosophy.
