An Elegy
+ + +
Born in the winter snows of Siberia
Your ancestors pulled the sleighs
Of White Russian czars
On their way to Manchuria
In Lapland and Alaska
From the wolf-pack of the forest
Down to Sun Valley.

I named him Shashka,
Russian for strength.
I remember him pulling Randol
On his skateboard,
A family friend
And protector of our home.
+ + +
May your spirit pass on
And into the body of a white horse,
Or become a puppy
And we will all watch you grow.

a.k.a. Merlin Pendragon
