 MOTHER DIVINATION

(Sunday, February 8, 2026

The polar bear pressed on, resolute, forging a path
with unwavering determination.

Guiding the way
Through uncharted territory,
Someplace not usually tread,
Teetering on the edge of truth,
She lead. She lead.

She makes gestures
And a strange dance.
Her terrain has been changed,
This could be the last chance.

Depending on humans
To rescue her offspring,
Trapped in an odd environment and melting ice.

Call it maternal intuition.
Call it a last chance of hope.
The future is bleak and hazy.
Her motions might seem a bit crazy.

Notice her resolve and courage.

Call it a lost cause...

But follow the insistence
As she pleads...
and help her
In her needs!
