Alaska Rabbit + poem
%5B2%5D+Jan+2012.jpg)
Snowy Rabbit
Upon small furry feet
A scurry of silent action,
The bunny searches
For any grass or twig
The snow has not covered.
Digging quietly
Like a thief in the night,
An alert watchful eye
Casting about for danger
Whilst winter food is meager.
A catch of pinecones
Hidden under the bush,
Makes a wintertime feast
And warms a furry belly.
Silently hopping back to a burrow,
Fluffing fur and stroking ears
Surviving through another snow storm,
To dream of warmer days

Grandfather Great Spirit
All over the world the faces
of living ones are alike.
With tenderness they have
come up out of the ground.
Look upon your children
that they may face the winds
And walk the good road to the Day of Quiet.
Grandfather Great Spirit
Fill us with the Light.
Give us the strength to understand,
And the eyes to see.
Teach us to walk the soft Earth
as relatives to all that live.
