  • It draws attention to the harmony present in nature.
  • It reminds the reader of the cycle of life and that man is not eternal, whereas nature is -> "The forest, a place of ancient stability."
  • It is a warning of the consequences of our actions -> "Their [water striders'] silence is a warning of our fall."
  • It shows the power of nature, through the respect with which it talks about it.
  • Water is an essential element of the poem, the same way it is essential to humanity.

    • McMaster though her poem expresses her concern about the land.
    THE SECRADNESS OF THE LAND:
    • The harmony, power, and superiority creates the feeling of sacredness surrounding the land.
    WATER AS SOMETHING SACRED AND POWERFUL:
    • Water is a reoccurring element of the poem (Waterproof, Water strider, Water cycles, Lake Erie.)
    WE ARE A PART OF THE LAND, WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT:
    • The poem is a call for action; a wake up call.

My aim was to reconnect with those who came before me as a way of introducing myself to the land on which they lived.
