The Bear
The bear glances at me
with infinite tranquility.
I watch it shamble slowly
through my path.
Unconcerned and uncaring of
my desires for it to hurry by.
Terrified that it will turn
its attention to me.
As I sit to watch it pass
a sense of peace fills me
As I see it gather its midday meal.
What a terrifying blessing
that brought you into
my presence.
To witness your passing
so intimately,
I only wish that i got there sooner
to spend more time with the bear.
