Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

A different walk now
on Turtle Island, her people’s name
for this land of my ancestors too
generations long past; but her stories
vivid, pure, based on oral traditions.
A reverence for the land, for father Eagle,
the water, the wind, around the fire.
Her people, “the people”, here eternally
living, walking on Turtle Island

Title 8/7/07, poem August 12, 2007 15:31
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
