SUN BEAR

Sun Bear

carved from pine with acrylic paint by Robert Margetts

Fallen Sun Bear

with misted almond shaped Godivas

slowly darkening the day with heavy lids

and beckoning the nightmares

to place leniency upon a guilty soul.

A tear of Raspberry drips the dew

That webs the sky                                                      

nectar for those who crave the taste

a show of pain who dare to cry.

Droplets of liquid trickle

down the innocent face of one so hurt

pelting the ivory lace dress

patronizing love and loyalty.

Be not so afraid to seek the hand that once placed the ring of time upon a child in a land far away.

For every child finds peace

by the twilight of night
in the arms of a soft Teddy Bear.
