DECEPTION



Photo by: James B Beard aka Noodin

Deer is still
Every sound a sign
A stick that snaps
Deer are running


 Wolf pauses in his step
Every scent is telling
A foe might be present
Wolf is on the move


 Trees are bending
Bows break and miss-shape
What was up is down
What was calm is disturbed


 Wind is blowing
Messages travel
Leaves swirl
Invisible motion


 Snake slithers in the grass
Silent and foreboding
Curled up under a rock
Ready to strike


 Earth seems to move
Shadows fool the ground
A stream takes new form
Everything changes


 Crow calls loudly
Gathering the murder
What do they hide
Following the motion


 Blue Jay sounds an alarm
Something is coming
What does he know
Does anyone hear


 Eagle looks down
Watches all things
Watches all things
Watches all things

  I really don't like to promote my book I think people will see the title and want to read the message that it carries. I know it doesn't work that way but I wish it did. I was checking the comments on some of the adds I post and came upon a re-post by my niece, Neemin. What she posted melted my heart. It reminded me of the closeness of family, even by adoption. It brought back so many memories of Neemin growing up in Sault Ste. Marie.  Here is what she said: "This book written by my uncle James beard is a must read!!... James is a life long friend of my grandpa Larry Matrious and my dad Brian Matrious... so most of the teachings you will read about in this book come from my family... James not only is a life long friend of my family but he has earned the trust of my misho and my dad to share these teachings.. James became our uncle brother and son to my family years ago...  it makes me so proud to have my grandpa's teachings an my father's together in this book.....
