little black bear cub
showing off and doing tricks
smiling mountain skies

we, the entertained
watch you play
sun bursts through the clouds

us silly humans —
we expect so much from you
you give and we take

perhaps the circus
missed their star
your tricks are for us

it’s the little things
we long for in life, in love —
uplifts our spirits

we’re smitten with you
black bear cub
beauty in a cage
