Bears!
mostly this week we have sought wildflowers,
our luck has held,
and thousands of perfect plants
have enticed us up valleys and trails,
two days ago a vista pulled us up a steep hill
where the Great Fire erased the forest
that swallowed the view:
a view that can now overwhelm me,
today was of bears: a mama bear and her two yearlings,
who stopped cars for hours as each browsed on wildflowers,
and seemed to enjoy the attention,
for us, the wildflowers are a feast for the soul,
for the bears, they are a salad bar,
worth a lot of helpings.
