So i look back from the edge, and find lessons needed are now becoming lessons learned. A precipice walked does not a man make, but the reason for which he passed that way, ah, now there is a question. But men would have none of that. For in those terms, their lot and place in life are little more than incidental. Yet in the end, even they are necessary. Not guilty is my plea to things for which I took blame; for in the moment, my thought was not for me, but for you. Awakened now, in fields of green, regal glow of my mantle shining; a white tear beneath one eye; a prayer for the loved and lost. This be the only mark on me save the fire in my eyes. Beyond the shadows, the calls of fathers come before echo down the canyons of my dreams. Like dew not yet settled on the forest floor, these silent eyes watch and wait within the mist. For my time has come. No more words would do it justice. My time has come. I have waited far too long. I am the grey wolf; first and only lover of the moon; royal coat and a forest's worth of wisdom gleaming in the light-weary evening; with burning hazel eyes that speak volumes but utter not a word. Look deep within them, past the threshold to a soul strong and willful. See the cunning. sense the power, and know that whatever I may hunt, it will not long run free. Tall in the shoulder and strong, I know my place in this world. And now you will see all the things you should have seen. For behind the teacher, and the muse past the foolish spirit I was i am more than an example, who took the falls i teach others to avoid I am a master of disguise... a singular creation. the grey wolf, a shadowed lover with a full moon's voice. I kept wondering why that frisbee kept getting bigger and bigger....and then it hit me. |

Whew! Wow! What a fantastic piece of writing, my fellow Canadian! "I know my place in this world" ~ And a lofty, venerable place it be, Grey Wolf!    EA |

lol...i havent read this in a long time and I have to admit, it is a lot of heady stuff. but it came at a time when the proverbial light went on in my head...it only took til I was 46 lol. By the way, I'm not a Canadian by birth, but I am by choice of heart. I am from the States originally, Indiana to be more exact. The area around Ottawa reminds me a lot of it. Lots of corn and cows so it feels like home to me. I appreciate your comment. Look forward to reading you. zaac I kept wondering why that frisbee kept getting bigger and bigger....and then it hit me. |

It's beautiful, since I happend to be called wolf here, it touches my heart even more. It's my story, the story I live when I dream viking. Forever howling at the moon, backtalking the sun and singing serenades to my wife that's seeking shelter for the upcoming winter. Wonderful. this site just holsters geniuses. |

Hmmm...The Viking Wolf...sounds like a good title for a piece. maybe a ship and the story of the wolf she bears honor to. you should muse on that. thanks, zaac I kept wondering why that frisbee kept getting bigger and bigger....and then it hit me. |
