In the Goddess Times<br />
<br />
In the goddess times when the moon reigns full<br />
And the pack starts up as they feel the pull<br />
And the paws push fast as they feel the night<br />
All the forest runs howling with delight<br />
<br />
In the hunting times when the scent reigns thick<br />
When the ears are keen and the teeth are quick<br />
And the barks and yips sound along the path<br />
All the forest feeds and the savage laugh<br />
<br />
In the quiet times when all sleep reigns still<br />
And the sated pack has no lust for thrill<br />
And the warmth of kin is their main desire<br />
All the forest rests by the quiet fire<br />
<br />
In the threatened times when the dark reigns high<br />
And the shadows slink as they lurk nearby<br />
And the pack must fight growling back to back<br />
All the forest flees from the loyal pack<br />
<br />
In the injured times when the blood reigns thick<br />
And there's wounded kin the pack moves in quick<br />
And the cure and care is on each sharp mind<br />
All the forest knows the pack can be kind<br />
<br />
In the goddess times when the moon reigns full<br />
And the pack starts up as they feel the pull<br />
And the pack is one where their souls abide<br />
All the forest knows I am by their side<br />

Yellow Eyes <br />
<br />
We've roamed the wild country<br />
My beautiful yellow eyes,<br />
Side by side we've hunted<br />
Shadows dancing on northern skies. <br />
<br />
There have been times of plenty<br />
We were content and serene,<br />
Peacefully sleeping<br />
Dangers few and far between. <br />
<br />
We've also known much hunger<br />
Ribs protruding from each side,<br />
Mournfully we howled<br />
When our starving cubs had died. <br />
<br />
And then there was our first winter<br />
Romping thru the glistening snow,<br />
Tasting each crystal snowflake<br />
Falling gently to and fro. <br />
<br />
Ah my dear, sweet yellow eyes<br />
I've known no greater love,<br />
Without you, I am nothing<br />
Our wild souls are one. <br />
<br />
And now you lay there dying<br />
Steel jaws upon your frame,<br />
Life's blood slowly seeping<br />
I whimper your sweet name. <br />
<br />
Helpless, I watch you struggle<br />
Chest heaving with labored breath,<br />
Steel jaws clenching tighter<br />
Winds whisper the song of death. <br />
<br />
The blood has now stopped flowing<br />
I know the time is near,<br />
And you will forever leave me<br />
My love, my life, my dear. <br />
<br />
And now my world is silent<br />
Your struggles now have ceased,<br />
I lay my head upon you<br />
And know you are at peace. <br />
<br />
Perhaps your soul has lifted<br />
To skies where eagles soar,<br />
And there you'll greet your brothers<br />
To run with them forever more. <br />
<br />
And someday I shall find you<br />
In the heaven's so far above,<br />
And when our wild soul's unite<br />
There'll be no greater love. <br />

Silent Paws <br />
<br />
Silent paws trotting<br />
on a well beaten trail,<br />
alone in the wilderness,<br />
so young and so frail. <br />
<br />
Little yips go unanswered,<br />
the moon is now his guide,<br />
looking for ones just like him,<br />
or have all of them just died? <br />
<br />
He sniffs the dampened ground<br />
and senses man everywhere,<br />
the silence is deafening<br />
no howls in the air. <br />
<br />
Oh why did he venture<br />
so far from his den,<br />
while his pack fell silent<br />
at the hands of men? <br />
<br />
His stomach is growling<br />
but the hunger he’ll endure,<br />
his pack family is out there<br />
it’s their blood he smells for sure. <br />
<br />
He stops in his tracks<br />
and raises his head up high,<br />
the terror overwhelms him<br />
as he lets out another cry. <br />
<br />
But still there’s no answer<br />
he can’t understand why,<br />
he’ll follow their trail<br />
or he surely will die. <br />
<br />
For days now he’s traveled<br />
his spirit and body gone weak,<br />
he lies down in white clover<br />
no more energy left to speak. <br />
<br />
Soon the soul hovers <br />
over this tiny, frail pup,<br />
whose future now will be guarded<br />
as his soul travels up. <br />
<br />
What right does man have<br />
to take life from a living thing,<br />
that has no way to voice its defense<br />
against a human being? <br />
<br />
The wolf is a symbol,<br />
a brother, a friend.<br />
it’s time now for action<br />
before his existence comes to an end.<br />

The Wolf<br />
<br />
When the pale moon hides and the wild wind wails,<br />
And over the treetops the nighthawk sails,<br />
The gray wolf sits on the world's far rim<br />
And howls: and it seems to comfort him.<br />
<br />
The wolf is a lonely soul, you see,<br />
No beast in the wood, nor bird in the tree,<br />
But shuns his path; in the windy gloom<br />
They give him plenty, and plenty of room.<br />
<br />
So he sits with his long, lean face to the sky<br />
Watching the ragged clouds go by.<br />
There in the night, alone, apart,<br />
Singing the song of his lone, wild heart.<br />
<br />
Far away, on the world's dark rim <br />
He howls, and it seems to comfort him<br />
