The Wolves Are Singing I hear a howl The wolves are singing Their beautiful lullaby A soft sweet symphony The song of the arctic As I creep closer The sound dims Until the only noise Is the restless wind Moaning it’s pain To the world A soft patter The crunch of snow Then silence I stand frozen Rooted in my spot My breath catches in my throat I am surrounded Eyes stare out From the white terrain Eyes like coals And stormy skies Mysterious and dark Like clouds When a storms a-brewing Suddenly Movement A rough grey wolf Proud and strong Steps out before me He stares I stare A battle of wills Then Finally He relaxes And looks away Acceptance He turns And with one last look Walks away Disappearing into the winds With his pack Behind him I sigh And breath again My heart Previously stopped Starts once more It’s steady rhythm Of life Thinking of the wolves I grin I have been accepted As a friend Not a foe I leave the spot My life changed And continue on my way But then A howl I smile to myself The wolves are singing Again |

The beauty of this poem to me is beyond words.I love the primal connection in the part about the battle of wills.Did i mention i just love this? |

This is beautiful. I felt like I was there myself.  |

 (smiles) Oh Stephanie, I love this, sweet friend, I wouldn't blame some animals for having a grunge against man and how so much naure has been ravaged by them but to feela spiritual bond toward them yet is a wonderful feeling! (sigh) This is touching, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Stephanie, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

*hugz everyone* Thanks ya'll, it makes me feel so good to get good feedback. I never have had much confidence in anything I write, but this really helps, to have people say such good things. |
