Here in the circle within
circles, he weaves each one,
nosing his way through,
the sacred songs boost him,
keep alive the spiral dance
sending him with prayers
and entreaties on his journey…
The bear heads for his long sleep
Dream, dream again,
another vision, oh brother
Little fuzzy dog,
black and white and grey
eyebrows dance at me
intelligence of dark and light
gold and shadow together,
smiling with the eyes
fully alive,
ready to chase the bouncing
ball or even the tattered stick
"Focus on the positive,"
she used to say
and by the way,
life kept on in full round
"It's all good, " they asserted
and she chimed in,
it rhymed then
and zen, and then, and zen again
upon the carpet of green lush,
life sweeter by full flavor
tintillated all the senses
A caterpillar
somehow keeps track
of all it’s legs,
while dreaming
of flying
One lovely cloud
dancing ‘cross the sunbright sky
appears to be most anything
wearing a fluffy disguise
