North Woods

I was raised in the North Woods, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Champion MI to be exact near Lake Michigamme and the Pesheke River, While Pines, Maple, Birch, Poplar (similar to Quakes in Utah).

To the Forest

To the Water

To the Lake

To the Stream

To the Snow

To the North Wind Blow

To the Valley

To the Glacier

That cut the Soil

Exposed the Rock

To the Forest

To the Water

To the Lake

To the Stream

To the Land

Where I grew Up

In the North Woods

Losing Self

Finding Nature

Trusting Mother

To the Forest

To the Water

To the Lake

To the Stream

To the Tree

To the Variety

The White Pine

The Maple Colors

The White Birch

In the Tall Ones

I stand a Perch

To the Forest

To the Water

To the Lake

To the Stream

To the Deer

To the Bear

To the Beaver

To the Trout

All my Relations

Were raised with Me

From the Sparrow

To the Great White Pine Tree

To the Forest

To the Water

To the Lake

To the Stream

I Remember

How you Carried Me

I Remember

How I roamed Free

Through the Forest

Climbed the Hill 

So I could see more of You

Standing Naked

Standing Tall

You still hold the Space

For me to Fall

I hold my Staff

I pray for YOU

I hold my Staff

You trusted True
