A Poet's Legacy
In days gone by amid the stone
An old poet spoke of the sky
To follow the laws of nature
Or our kind will surely die.
He spoke old words that still seem wise
As the grey-eyed wolf looking back
How the strength of all supports one
And breath of one feeds the whole pack
The poet’s words taught the huntsmen
To be choice while stalking his prey
Take enough to relieve hunger
And return another day.
Now as I lie here in my bed
A thought occurs that won’t let go
These stories I’ve heard many times
And still they are simply Just So!
