At dawn
I look for sign.
You are orphaned –
without a mother
to guide you.
Did you find
my offering?
Friendship
for one
wearing bearskin
is a risk
you can
no longer take.
To be shot at,
trapped,
run down by
stupid men who
fear their own
black souls
is no excuse.
Murdering mothers
and children
constitutes atrocity –
like Tree Slaughter
I am forced to witness
the horrors of
human insanity.
I wonder
If you know
That Nature
Is starting to
retaliate
on your behalf?
This virus
is just the beginning…
Humans will
orchestrate their
their demise
through continued
indifference
selfishness…
suffering and dying
just as you have.
Unlike your kind
our old ones
will meet death first,
but the tide
is shifting;
Earth seeks wholeness,
redressing imbalance,
And S/he too
can be ruthless
when culling…
You are wise
in the ways of Nature
called “Root Healers”-
still reverenced
by some.
One day
bears will
thrive in newly
forested landscape,
raise yearlings in peace,
live free of torment,
because the species
that once hunted you
has finally been erased
from the Book of Life,
Her Evolving Story
is a Fountain of Hope.
