Columbia Flows

Columbia Flows

She roars in currents 

formed from melting snow

and ancient glaciers

from Canada to the Pacific Ocean,

and here, at Grand Coulee Dam,

she flows through the turbines to 

generate power for two million

households every year—and 

she flows through miles of canals 

to irrigate six hundred eighty thousand acres 

of farmlands and orchards, 

powering our homes and our food supply—

the Columbia River flows with life 

and roars a tumbling tale to care for earth.

A view of the Columbia River flowing over the Grand Coulee Dam to prevent flooding downstream as the spring melt of snow and glaciers begins to flow.
