Black Bear (Ode to Robert Washick)

We can-not see you
Although your presence is know
However it may be.

It seems to follow us, follow us everywhere…
Anywhere our minds will take us

You’re with us now;
     On the top of this mountain,
     Down in the city,
     And even in our dreams and wildest trips.

Your footprints remind us
They make us laugh
But they also send a chilling scare
To retreat, but not to forget

To remember, the beauty, the sights, the scenes
Remember the glow, and how you sent it from a million miles
How you warmed us on the top of that mountain
How you saved us, from a possibility of a fear

We Love You
