The Fox and The TrapperA Poem by Michael Leon Wilson
Round and round you scurry
Always playful always cunning Little fox meek yet stunning Either you are slinking or running I chase you, because you are lovely I want not to hurt you, yet I am tracking So fear not little fox I am not hunting I am trapping. I am to capture you from all your fears I plan to take away all your tears I just must grasp you to gain your ear Through love and trust i will keep you near, Theres a Forest And theres a meadow Through the center is a river The hunter cross' it is not your fellow Day by day I hear his bellows echo Wreaking terror upon my meadow, My fox does shrink and shiver Her tail tucked and her lips quiver In me forest you found your solace You found freedom as I combed you coal flawless My gift to you my fox lies within your confidence The most dangerous game you decide to play as you prove yourself you are fierce and not the prey, Upon this hunters bed you lay. I reminisce of every day we played, Think of what i taught you everyday, Now i pray you quick enough to dodge the blade, yet for you i am not afraid. I have taught you, and you have learned, You are strong and smart of this I'm sure, The trapper left your pelt and took your heart and the hunter tries to get your fur to part. My fox I shall let you play and let you frolic, As I train myself to blacksmith I'm assembling an armament. For sould this hunter harm you, the hounds of hell will howl for doom and I shall trap him in his tomb. I watch over you from our woods, quell the river to prevent the floods, but in thile night you'll smell my smoke, In the moonlight I grow the most. Gaze up to see it and you will know I'm close. Never forget who loves you most, That in mind I saved you from fear to let your freedom flow, Go my fox, dont forget to grow, Meek and sleek, cunning and quick you are sure of, yet believe me, you are stronger than You know. Prove it to yourself without fears, For should the hunter turn on you, you will always have a home. © 2020 Michael Leon Wilson |
