"I was taught the symbolism regarding my culture from my grandparents. My art reflects this and enables me to be comfortable about being an Indian in a modern world."

#402 - A GIVING THING
She was older
than the boy,
therefore he gave
her all his respect.
When she spoke of times
to come he listened.
He knew there
would be a time
for him to go forth with
given knowledge from her.

#403 - DESIGN'S
Within us is the secret
of what we are to become.
To find it we seek
a sense of serenity.
It is then we see
the design of life.
The ways of our life
are the simple and innocent
complicated by problems we create.
True understanding
is all we need.

#404-DREAM YOUR DREAMS WITH ME
Together we are born.
With this thought we are to grow
within each other
that its purpose may be proven.
As the weaver weaves our destinies for us,
it shall be a creation
that we become our dream.
In this we learn
what a life of love means.
- Burgess Roye

#614-WE CAME TO HEAR THE DRUMMER BOY
We have nothing to give, but,
we know we are a part of every beat
as our hearts keep time with life.
This gift is ours,
and our thanks is being here today.
- Burgess Roye
