Paul Lake Evening
By Richard Wagamese
loon call wobbles over wind
eased through the gap between mountains
the lake set down aglitter
like a bowl of quartz winking
in the last frail light of sun
pushing colours around the sky
to sit here is to see this country
the way a blind man sees
the feeling of it all
pushed up hard against you
insistent as a child's hand
tugging at your sleeve
the Old Ones say
that everything is energy
and we're part of it
whether we know it or not
in the sky are pieces of me
we are the grass
alive with dancing
we are the stone
vigilant and strong
we are the birds
ancient with singing
the flesh of us
hand in hand, you and I
the whole wide world
