Coldwater Spring is a sacred place located in South Minneapolis. It is the last natural limestone spring left in the metro area. The spring is very sacred to the Native American community. It has a deep history. When I visit the spring, I feel a calm, I feel strong energy, I can hear her sing. I wrote a poem about the spring:
Coldwater Spring
I can hear her sing
I visit her to purify and cleanse
To absorb the vibration she sends
I visit her to feel serene
To absorb the calming scene
I visit her to offer a prayer
Because I truly care
I know I've made a good choice
When the sound I hear is her voice
Coldwater Spring
Can't you hear her sing?
The feeling she gives is so tranquil
I pause at the view from up the hill
I enter the labyrinth on a path
Pure and welcoming, a spiritual bath
My ancestors gathered here
To me, the reason is clear
I visit her to feel the heartbeat
Where people and waters meet
Coldwater Spring
Can't you hear her sing?
