The Year
Fall
Clouds floated in the sky .
As the great white owl pounced
Upon a weak young mouse,
And the great gray wolf howled
In the distance .
Under the the full moon the
Grasshoppers danced, like
Fairies in the wind and
The old man lay still under
The old oak tree, its leaves
Wisping in the wind.
When the sun had risen above
The hills, and the night
Sounds had disappeared
The old man lay still.
Bright colors filled the trees
As the wind blew the first leaf
To the ground .
Winter
Trudging the forest and over
The snow, as a Bear makes his
Den in a cave.
A weasel with his fur splotched
white, hunts down a mouse.
The winter wind stings my
Face, yet I move on . I move
To where the ganders are, and
where the birds migrate.
I move on .
Winter is a comin',
A comin', a comin',
And when it arrives,
It shall stay.
Spring
The flowers bloom,
The bluebird sings,
And the green grass sways
In the wind.
The big bear yawns,
He is hungry for a meal.
I walk north, the only
Way to go. I wish to
See the lake again, I
Wish to see the house,
I wish to see the heron
Fly just above the loon.
Not yet, though.
Still miles away.
But soon.
The 1ake....
My lake.
Summer
I swing in the air with the
Greatest of ease, then dive
To the depths of the fish.
The summer sun hangs high
In the sky, the eagle flys
Home from the hunt.
The stone eagle stands
With his head up high,
And for many years he will
Stay.
The raspberries ripen and
Blueberries too.
The strawberries are
Perfect to eat.
The loon calls and the
waves flow gently toward
Shore.
