wetlandspoem #1
the waters are returning
with the waters the plants
with the waters and plants the fish
with the waters and plants and fish the birds
from the east has come phyllis singing bird
danny fire crow from the south
from the west lionel little eagle
chuck running elk from the north
to spread cleansing smoke over stubbled fields
to speak words of blessing
to praise the creator
with song dance drum flute feast
as the earth is healed
as the waters return to emiquon
