"Laughing Water"
Dance in her depths,
Cleansed by her sway.
She is steady, she desires to teach us
The mysteries which Creator breathed into her at the foundation of the world.
The trees cling by her shores, strong, sturdy.
The buck's rack grows, yet never too much to be weighed down to drink from this sacred source.
The she-deer, too, leads her young to drink.
Great Bear and Brother Wolf take rest beside her-with Mighty Hawk, after a long and toilsome journey down from Eagle Rock.
As the two and four legged, the flyers, creepers and swimmers rely on her for strength; she sings a hymn of the rain.
Her joyous laughter is in awe of the Creator;
She weeps at pollution and carelessness.
