The Wilderness (Part II)

poem

Northern wind blowing

Deer moving

Squirrel in a hollow tree

Poke it's head out to feel the cool breeze

Rabbit rests in thickets and thorns

A place of shelter to keep warm

Geese are flying South

While the cold wind blows from the North

Mountain lion hunts for prey

To take back to its cave

Rattlesnake in a hole

Curled up from the cold

Eagle flying in the sky of falling snow

While looking down at the white below

Mama bear and cub hibernating in their den

For the day of winter begins

Mountain man with mule

Returning to his cabin with meat and firewood

Mother Nature's heartland

The wilderness
