 Irene's Treasure - Echoes of My Heart

*~*~* The Bear *~*~*


*~*~* *~*~* *~*~* *~*~* *~*~*
  
A lone bear walks in shadows deep
The moon his only allibi
He smells the trails of footprints old
Clear as maps 'neath darken sky

 *~*~* *~*~* *~*~* *~*~* *~*~*

He fears no-one, this king of beasts
Covered by the sky's grand dome
He sauthers through the pathless woods
Preferring best to be alone

 *~*~* *~*~* *~*~* *~*~* *~*~*

With freedom's joy, he claims this right
To wander where and when he please
Away from evil mankind's lares
Hidden by majestic trees

 *~*~* *~*~* *~*~* *~*~* *~*~*

But now and then he dares to thread
The littered paths of noisy men
Unseen, unheard in hushed respect
Away from his low earthen den
  
 *~*~* *~*~* *~*~* *~*~* *~*~*

Silent as the grave he goes
Through woods he alone doth know
As day takes charge of night again

 *~*~* *~*~* *~*~* *~*~* *~*~*

Man his only bitter foe  

         *~*~*
