In the darkest hours of midnite when a northern night light did shine over a frozen valley my new found friends the meandering moose stared back at me as I wandered the woods in wonderment wondering why I wandered in wonder each night. But to tell the truth? Even my companion the rainbow dancing lights did not always provide a sufficient glow to mask the dirty deeds I did see below the freeze-thaw lines of demarcation that seem to forever stand between the frozen hearts of humans. But then again? Whenever I danced within the shadows of Aurora’s brilliant lights I saw my own reflection... taunting, cajoling reality, sometimes cursing sometimes thanking, reflecting all that was my past, my present, teasing me into the future. And oh, I did wander and wonder. Is there a future to quest? I asked my meandering moose, Moosatchie and Willow, my adopted twins of the northernmost frozen woods (no Boggledy Woods, mind you) as at the height of a winter solstice night I crept ‘neath whispering willows, frozen like some giant Popsicle sticks meant to be savored as dessert waitng to be licked by a wanderer's mind in tomorrows desert while frozen toes and hands did splay themselves on sheets of ice and snow, but oh, you know the whispers were as cold to a finger’s touch as they were warming to the heart. But then, some whispers are left behind, to be told perhaps some day by some other chickadee. |
