MURRAY COUNTY POETRY Poems by Murray Poets and Poems About Murray County THE ARROWHEAD by John Homer Luffman 1910-1987 I FOUND A FLINTY, GLIST'NING ARROWHEAD IMBEDDED IN A HILL IN TENNESSEE. DID SOME BRAVE WARRIOR, NOW AMONG THE DEAD DEFEND HIS LAND - LAND OF THE CHEROKEE? WAS IT INTENDED FOR AN UNKNOWN FOE OR MEAT WITH WHICH TO FEED A HUNGRY CLAN? AND DID IT HIT THE MARK OR DID IT GO AMISS, CONTRARY TO THE MARKSMAN'S PLAN? HOW LONG WAS THIS BEFORE THE TRAIL OF TEARS, WHEN NATIVE SONS WERE FORCED TO LEAVE THEIR LAND. NO ANSWERS FELL UPON MY LIST'NING EARS FROM THIS SMALL THING I HELD WITHIN MY HAND. IT COULDN'T SPEAK AND I WILL NEVER KNOW ALTHOUGH, IT IS A FACT, I WONDER STILL WHO AIMED THE ARROW ONCE SO LONG AGO I FOUND IMBEDDED IN THE RED CLAY HILL. Murray County Poetry
