Tell us, old one what you see
Through the flames so dancing free
With silence broken only with wolf howl
And the moon casting shadows in silent prowl
Speak the words we want to hear
From this land of bear and deer

All did watch as outstretched hand
Pointed to each of the attentive band
Then dropped in silence to tend the fire
Adding more sticks to the flicking pyre
Then he spoke with softness of word
As the circle grew closer so he was heard

The fire consumes some of the old ways
Of which we have held all our days
Envy and greed and all the ways wrong
Be consumed tonight with firelight’s song
Seek peace within to accept what we are
To walk with proud head near and far

Touch who you find and lift them up high
Give comfort to others when you hear silent cry
Tho you may have pains, and hurts of your own
You will find in your seek, you walk not alone
The springtime of youth, the winter of old
There are no times not to enfold

Take what you wish from the words that I say
Look in your hearts to find warriors way

A silence did fall with the drop of the fire
With last words spoken, we knew he did tire
One by one the circle broke
To ponder alone of the words he had spoke
A spark did flare and he was gone
Leaving only the moon and lone wolf’s song

(sigh) Oh Logan, this is wonderful and filled with wisdom, sweet friend, sometimes the young just won't understand the old until they grow to that day in age, yay, welcome back home, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Logan, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
