The Artist Without


The burning of St. Ignace Island, Nipigon Bay.


Grey Mists of the Morning

Grey mists of the morning
I beg you to come
And cloud from my vision
The death of my land

My great stately forests
The life there within
Have sated the thirst
Of the vampire fires.

Before the aerial surveys the forest was cruised by men on foot. Their maps were as good as GPS to follow for hunting and fishing - a perk of the job.
