Well, everybody else is sending in their ferret poems, so I may as well
join in. I actually wrote this before Tater, or any other ferret came,into
my life. Imagine my surprise when, upon re- reading it tonight, I found a
very familiar critter in it. I think it just might express some feelings
which are familiar to ferret-folks.
JOURNEY
I have stood upon a mountaintop
I have turned my face to face the Sun
I have lain in a meadow of new
Spring grass
I have heard the song of a newborn fawn
And walked beside a laughing stream
I have felt the kiss of a morning mist
I have tasted the drops of a healing rain
I have stood in the shadow of the
Wisdom tree
I have touched the flakes of an early snow
And seen the joy in a mother's tear
I have smelled the hope of an opening bud
I have sensed the peace in an angry sky
I have thought the thoughts which a
Forest thinks
I have drempt the dreams of a dreaming child
And wept the tears of a waterfall
I have slept beside a sleeping wolf
I have danced along with a dancing wind
I have played the play which a
Ferret plays
I have laughed the laugh of a mockingbird
And sung the song of an early dawn
With each of these I have run
All of these I have become
Our lives have joined and become
As one
A life that will live for living's sake
A life that will live when we are gone
