KABETOGAMA
Through the trees you catch a glint of blue. Behind those forests there's something new, Something unexplored as yet, Waiting a real accomplishment. From the surrounding forest there bounds a deer; And out of the water a pike leaps clear. An old bear with her cubs shambles off. And from the forest you hear a deer cough. A loon calls from an island near at hand; An answering cry comes from some distant point of land. In this tranquil spot, forest folk abide – Kabetogama, “waters side by side.” - Lee Tolle (age 11) |
