When the Snows Cover the Hillside

A Poem in 8 Lines

When the snows cover the hillside
to resurrect in the river's rise and
the innocence of children reappears
in aging eyes and the pink flesh of
the leaping salmon in the power of
the bear is found,in a lock of your
raven's hair You'll live, though you rest
In spring's emerald-gowned ground.
