Hibernating Bear Happily Winter Den Sleeping Poem by Terence George Craddock

falling cold raining heavily here
so like a bear I am darkness retreating
to hibernate in winter den sleeping

to sleep in sweat summer dreams
spring streams honey dripping eating
upon migrating salmon fish feeding

safe from ice snow cold wind spine chill blows
safe from ice hail pelting blizzards bitter banshee raging
safe from severe storm high winds terror howling

safe from ice snow cold freezing wind blows
safe from ice hail pelting blizzards bitter raging
safe from severe storm high winds howling

snow blast snow squall white out painting
death in lost high mountain passes freezing
safe in dreams of summer breeze embracing
