SurroundedPine comes larger than your head
Log cabins surround Lake Arrowhead
High above Los Angeles and ‘out of place’
Watching o’er the desert and the rat raceThe trees remind me of Canada’s woodsThe province of my youth is OntarioA suburb below has the same nameBut Canada is not San BernardinoEven though persons play the sameI remember when I ‘got the goods’
My father taught me well enough
It was not really part of being toughNot so much the why or whatThere’s more than enough of thatMaybe most he taught me howTo never let them beat my brow
Still, I think of what’s importantand to him I am remonstrantmy mind is freeto hug the treeor learn about the Cree!They were a nation under siege, surrounded and outnumberedwith no liege, encumberedWho in the end succumbedThose ‘white men’ I have thumbed
But that same ethic still is with us
The ‘primitives’ or natives cussWhy do we pursue power and egoYou might not answer this I know.To walk within the woods
To believe the real goods
and smell the dew…NurturingMy wounds are suturingRelieffrom all the griefabuse of womenso much more, but to be brieflet’s catch the thiefMasquerading as our leadersMaking wounds that sure are bleedersOh, to lie down in the fenAmongst the dampening dewWith youSurrounding and surrounded.Author of many books available at Lulu and World-Mysteries.Com
