"Conversations Of The Wild"

Painting By D.W. Lorenz


In the quietude of dawn, where nature's brush strokes wide

A tableau unfolds a serene spirited tide
Between bear and bison a dialogue runs deep

Beyond the hunt and hide, more than just the leap
Shadowed bear paws softly kissing earth's floor

United by the pulse of the wild's gentle roar

They amble and explore, forest clapping in accord

Greeting the bison, in curiosity, not discord
Majestic bison, cloaked in twilight's soft embrace

Move with the rhythm of the grassland's gentle grace

Their breaths painting fog, a symphony in space

On the mountain's slope, they find their place.
Amongst them, a bear cub, a spark of life anew

Eyes alight with the joy of morning's fresh dew
Approaches a bison calf, with wonder in his view

A meeting of minds, in the world's grand venue
Their dance is one of curiosity, under the sun's newborn arc

A conversation of life's play, not just the predator and its mark

In their touch, a story of kinship, a shared lark
Then off into the wilderness, they embark
Here, two families commune, under nature's grand dome

Sharing the breath of the earth, their collective home

In moments of peace, where roamers roam

Nature whispers of love, where the heart is free to comb
So let us listen to the wild's soft-spoken word

Where the speech of the soul is felt, not heard

In the rustling leaves, the flit of the bird,

Lies a message of unity, too often deferred
