Mother Bear

Home shifts and changes, but you stay North. 

Always guiding me when I am lost. 

How many nights have I cried to you? 

I see your cub, and there's Orion

and his dog. I pray for the Wounded

Healer, wherever he is tonight. 

But it's you who wrapped me in the arms

of the Milky Way when I thought there

was nothing left to save. You held me. 

You remind

me that I

came from stars.
