The Great Bear

Never saw your face
Never looked
Into those haunted
Brown eyes
Never had a chance
To know you
But I felt your presence
On that moonless night
Loom larger
Than the dying glaciers
Of Montana’s garden wall

Through forced breaths
At the very edge
Of relentless shadow
I heard your questions
Concerns and agitation
With my kind
Stirring sleepless imagination

The very thought
Of salivating
Bone crushing fang
And three inch claws
At my fabric door
An insistence of reverence
And utmost humility
In this godless age

Precious few are we
Who enter
The forest of kings
And emerge
From towering pillars
With his petrifying blessing
To continue our quest
For any kind of answer

    :) I like.

    a few weeks ago my son and husband were camping and at night were walking to go to the bathroom when my son heard a noise, shone his flashlight towards a bush, and saw 2 glowing eyes!!! They backed away and left but did not sleep easily that night in the flimsy pop top we have!!

    The next day they told the ranger and he said oh yeah---that's Einstein.

    THANKS FOR THE WARNING!!
    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream
    Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
