Spirit Bears

Sun bear sleeps in mountain flowers

Moon bear wades a rushing stream

Dark bear dances in my dreams

Light bear flies in icy air—

Sun bear deep in mountain thyme

Black bear strides with moon glazed hair

White bear swims the green salt sea—

                                      All and ever spirit bears.

My bears dance with me everywhere.

You may not see them but you will know

My midnight dark and noon delight.

 My white hot, my ice blue cold

In forests, meadows, streams and seas

My spirit bears strong and bold.
