Darrell (WindWalker) Scarrett is an Aboriginal poet born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
In the earlier stages of his writing career an Aboriginal elder, after reading Darrell's poetry, observed:
"He must walk upon the wind to gather the words he shares with people; much like the eagle that soars in the sky bringing back wisdom from the Creator."
Thus the name WindWalker was bestowed upon him.

The Memory Tree
"For my daughter Tansea,
I'll look for your smile among the brightest stars to wish you a Merry Christmas - D."
The Memory Tree
He carefully searched and read each and
everyone
Every leaf someone’s father, mother. daughter
or son
Until finally he saw her leaf displayed for all
to see
Honoured forever on the organ donation
Memory Tree
He remembered she loved Christmas as
any child would
Writing letters to Santa and drawing pictures
when she could
Each was cherished and read by me year
after year
Now even more precious and remembered
with a tear
Our loved ones may be a memory
but they gave the most precious gift so
others may live

REVIEW
At first blush, A Gift from the Wind may appear to be a simple collection of Christmas-themed poems.
Upon closer inspection, this sacred collection of words carefully arranged on paper by aboriginal mystic Darrell WindWalker Scarrett (who survived the mean-streets of Winnipeg, Canada as a child and young adult) is much more than that. From the beautiful, full-color cover with indigenous objects d’art symbolizing the words and thoughts “Hope”, “Dream”, and “Believe”, to the brief, inspirational bio and quote by a native elder, (“He must walk upon the wind to gather the words he shares with people…”) the WindWalker’s seasonal “gift” of this book transcends time and space, going beyond being a mere gift for the season, but rather a gift of his heart and soul which will touch your own very heart and soul!
From a child’s pleading to Santa Claus for a hair-ribbon for his mother in The Card of Memories, to a symbol of hope during heart-breaking times in Candle in the Window, My Angel is an ode to a child’s fading mother: “And for all the Christmases you gave to me I will always love you.” The WindWalker reflects the common-man’s hopelessness and despair, while simultaneously raising one up to a level of hope and faith, mirrored in Christmas at the Gospel Mission: “Their voices rang strong and true As they sang Christmas songs both old and new At The Gospel Mission nothing could take away The true spirit of Christmas that day.” The tear-inducing Saved by Christmas is about a stray dog named Christmas that huddles up to a youngster, keeping him warm and safe until morning, then, “Like an angel Christmas had gone away.”
There is always a level of hope in WindWalker’s works, to wit, Waiting on Christmas: “We stood in line waiting my Mother and I The bitter cold December wind bringing a tear to my eye Just knowing there was food inside and it was warm made me smile.” One Day Christmas is another example of this sentimental hope that lingers within and around the Wind’s words: “My mother was an angel who saw me through to my adult years One Christmas Eve she gave me a present and for the first time, in her eyes I saw tears Inside the box were all the ornaments that I had made for our trees (throughout the years) She smiled through her tears and said, ‘One day Christmas, but you were always the gift to me.’ ”
I feel honored and privileged to have been charged with reviewing some of the material in this, one of his books, and I’m sure that these words by the WindWalker may always be read, regardless of the season, tomorrow, next year, next decade, and so on, always reflecting some level of hope, faith, and belief from deep within one’s heart and soul that will keep on growing and evolving. This book will touch everyone, regardless of the level and state of their current spiritual evolution.

Veteran's Day 2016
Honoured and Remembered
Row upon row of poppies an endless sea
of red
Bringing back memories for the living and
memorializing the dead
Brave men and women who fought side by side
unselfishly
In the name of freedom and peace, for their
country
Now they stand shoulder to shoulder lost in
their thoughts of that day
Medals shining under the bright sun, some shed
a tear as the bugler plays
In silence, we honour those who serve and especially
our vets
Proud of our country, proud of our heroes and proudly
we’ll never forget

Lost Moccasin
Lost Moccasin
One moccasin lost among many; many never coming
home again
Many worries, many tears, plenty of heartache and
pain
Sleepless nights go on forever wondering about the
lost moccasin
Only the darkness holds all the answers of where to
begin
Many prayers hoping that the almighty Creator holds
her in His grace
And one day leads her home or leads her to Mother
Earth’s embrace
