Epitaph of Bear

Midnight wakes at dawn
the slumbering guardian.
Two full moons stare hungrily
calling for the filling of the vessel
to feast with its kind.

Feline, more like a Bear,
protector of feet
and the warmth around them,
large eyes glinting with glee
at the amusement of the keeper.

Alas, another bridge built
for a young life to cross
all too soon
to warm the paws of those
on the other side.
