Inukshuk
rocky figure standing tall
a mere speck on the horizon
Inukshuk
with feet at times treading gently
a carpet of soft moss and tiny flowers
But often
feet firmly anchored on barren rock
in desolate land
bracing against snow and storm
Inukshuk standing tall
a cache hidden at your feet
pointing the way others may follow
Inukshuk within my view
my heart leaps for joy
you speak of courage
inner vision
gifts to be discovered
Inukshuk standing tall
telling me someone has passed this way before
what cache is left for me
even by those who know me not
what do I offer
for generations yet to come
Inukshuk standing tall
