The cave of my heart says ' Beware ',
be aware, not afraid -
(there's a bear in there...)
We're hurtling towards the darkest day,
we'll come through it like the Sun
having shed unnecessaries, and still shedding
one by one - the dark reveals
what has begun - a New Year glimmers,
kind, and fun.
Goodbye, unnecessary thoughts and worries
and I thank you for your troubles -
(you are neutralized.)
I shake my shaggy behind,
black bear's
thick fur
walks into the forest
in my room, where the claws
are hung on the wall,
feathers from a lampshade -
the rug, the bed,
the chair...here I sit down
(the Bear)
