Told by her, in her language
our story, of all people
around the fire, in the circle
The meaning within her story
for the four elements,
fire, water, air and earth,
Four peoples
white, black,
yellow and red.
Part of her tradition
long before the races met
Interconnection and balance
with peoples, within
the elements,
all precious in the Creator’s sight
Title 8/7/07, poem August 12, 2007 15:36
On the words of Thunderbird Turtle Woman,
Our mission trip,
from Wesley United Methodist Church,
Concord, NH and from First United Methodist Church,
Hudson, MA to Jacksonville and Machias, ME
to the Down East Maine Mission,
Jacksonville United Methodist Campground,
East Machias, ME
