The White Cloud, head chief of the Iowas

The orange face,
Covered by bright colours,
Expresses solitude,
Responsibility
And leadership.
His eyes are tired
Of constantly looking beyond the horizon,
Yet he's the legend,
A giant of his generation.
His dignity flows in the sky
Like a feather,
And his language is complicated
And original.

Years pass,
People carry the sunlight
In their courageous hearts.
