Turtle Island Poems

People need to discover the world’s beauty now so they can come to appreciate it.  If people appreciate something they are more likely to take care of it.  Thus, once people explore the world and come to respect it they will be more apt to change their ways.

FOR THE CHILDREN-The children must continue to peruse the landscape and discover more places.  They need to travel through the valleys and pastures to learn the way the land is used and laid out.  Once they learn the land and travel through it they will learn to respect it.

O WATERS-Nature is slowly disintegrating and people need to take advantage of what is left now.  The mountains are crumbling and snowfields are melting rapidly.  If people do not start discovering the world’s beauty now, they never will.  Once they discover the beauty of nature they will come to appreciate all it has been through.

THE DAZZLE- The world is full of dazzling beauty and miraculous processes.  The way bees pollinate flowers, how roots work to grow a plant larger, and how trees bud into flowers are fruit are all interesting processes produced by nature. 

BY FRAZIER CREEK FALLS- On top of the waterfall they can see into the valley below.  The land below is glistening and full of flowers.  One can truly understand the beauty of nature as they are beside a waterfall listening to it.
