Wolf Winter’s expanse hears lone wolf cry And white these tracks that seek the moon This is not the season of sighs Winter’s expanse hears lone wolf cry O ancients, still wondering why That truths vanish with loss of loon Winter’s expanse hears lone wolf cry And white these tracks that seek the moon |

I love it! It has an almost mystic or mythical feel. |

I was hoping that would come across, Pete. Thank you! Thank you too, brother! You were a shoe-in...  |

"This is not the season of sighs" So true, Karilea....it is the season of howling..I am alive, I am alive, at the moon...(odd, but I have done that...in a blinding white-out snow squall.....like Sandburg said... THERE is a wolf in me ... fangs pointed for tearing gashes ... a red tongue for raw meat ... and the hot lapping of blood--I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go. (Carl Sandburg- excerpt from "Wilderness") And he was right..."the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go." And what better time than Winter to howl and follow the white tracks? "O ancients, still wondering why That truths vanish with loss of loon" Why should they wonder?..."the wilderness gave it to (them) me and the wilderness will (never)not let it go." The "truths" did not vanish, neither is the "loon" lost...They have always resided within... The wolf totem represents to me the epitome of maleness...It can be terribly vicious when need be in defense of its pack and family...to which it is loveable and loyal...(I have read that the wolf bitch also demonstrates this same conduct, but rarely is it as strongly displayed as in the alpha dog) Perhaps this poem was meant to tell a different story, but these are the thoughts that came to me as I read it... A thought provoking poem....Thank you for writing it... Love the form. ______________ice/ford ><> |

I can particularly hear the howl as I forge my way through several feet of snow. Perhaps in this area it's more likely coyote, but I can surely imagine... Well done, Sunshiny friend...  |
