Groundhog standin’ up
on the prairie-like hillock
surveying his backyard
“Ah!” he thinks
“Life is good!”
He just doesn’t
think it with words
He feels it
in his bones…
In ceremony
the groundhog community
greets the new day
Each rising up
on their haunches
facing the rising sun
and singing the
Greet the Day Song
It is the favorite
ceremony of the day
