Black Bear
… On a mountainside, I found my shady grove
And one day a long time ago, I met a black bear …
On a mountainside, I found my shady grove
And one day a long time ago, I met a black bear
And through that ancient arch, into that liminal space
I took her, and that diamond ring, into that sacred place
And I knelt down …
Golden sunlight came down, and filtered to the ground
A dappled pattern that dazzled the eye, oh that a young writer found
A sanctuary for my brother the sun, and I drew power down
A magic moment in a lifetime of love, on my knees on the ground
And I breathed, and I said …
