The breath of the vixen
always warm always strong
in the earth of my dreams
where I felt we belong
a softness a calmness
a beautiful hue
with our cubs
we did share
life that was new
far away there was warring
hunters in gear
hounds lapping passed us
violence and tear
our thoughts were our thoughts
sublimely shared
her breath and her heart beat
an I wasn’t scared
never worried abo ut us
for here in God’s earth
a family of caring
and witnessing birth
