Wolf Song

I sit surrounded by the tall grass


Golden stalks swaying in the wind

I close my eyes and strain to hear

The rumbling songs as they begin



Distant, low, the chorus starts

All vying to overpower

I stay, patiently still

As the songs course through the hours



A shimmering sphere across the sky

The full moon makes its way

Closer the songs reach my ears

Blood warm, I am unafraid



Slowly the mournful bales die away

All except for one

My heart begins to race

As a familiar song is begun



Low, deep the cadence fills my soul

Melodic, the strains catch my breath

Crying the song of yearning and loss

Haunting, the sounds will stay with me till death



Closer still my singer dares

The distant howls have come near

I feel his breath, exhaled deeply

Warming, soothingly in my ear



Across from me in the dusky fields

The starry sky lending its light

Amber eyes amid a coat of black

Have come for me tonight



Through all time and space

I have sat many a night alone

Waiting for my wolf to return

To find his way back home

Line in the Sand

I stand, silently still


On the edge of the horizon

Wind blowing, bringing careful whispers

As the waves crash beyond



The sun, its warmth across my heart

Give the sky a mellow glow

My toes, they seek in the sand

A line drawn below



White crested waves, they begin

The tide it has turned

Closer to shore they come

On them my dreams returned



Slinking, rippling towards the line

The waters they have reached

Claiming resolve and determination

Inhibitions have been breached



Walls broken, barriers dropped

I step over a line once was

Arms outstretched, I soar above

Into a land of lost desires and love

New Dawn

A small town

In the middle

Of nowhere

Destiny converged.


Two like minds

And two like spirits

Lead completely separate lives


Two comets aflame

Each bound by fate

For the same destination


Reaching ground zero

An explosive, cataclysmic event


As hopes and dreams,

Friendship and love

All came together


To create a new dawn

They

Would never be the same.

Energy

Moonlight

seeps into the room -

The glow

catching the edge of a robe.


Fabric trembling,

concealing,

a figure below.


Melodic chants,

low, whispered,

iced with pain.

Sudden gasps break the rhythm,

renewed breaths continue through.


Hands swiftly,

deftly

form the incantation,

stumble slightly,

determination pushing on.


Fingers bloodied and cracked from Power wielded,

and Power ultimately tamed.

A lone cloud blocks the light -

The air thickening with magic.


The robe

pools to the floor.

Sobs breaking.

Hands of Gods

Within the hands of gods

We sit on opposite sides

Within the hands of gods

Pawns to their delight


We try to choose our fate

Defying laws of old

Looking, heavenward to the stars

Seeing what is foretold


Within the hands of gods

We sit silently, eyes pleading

Within the hands of gods

Emotions, hearts careening


Hand in hand we break away

Holding on so dear

Running, never looking back

Pulling each other near


Within the hands of gods

Our fates were once handwritten

Within the hands of gods

We are not defeated
