I am gone and they don’t
Even know it.
And
I am no stranger
To
The wolf nor bear
Yet each time I meet them it is as if
The first encounter.
They have so much yet to teach me.

Years ago,
As I sat with friends
Along the banks of a magnificent river
In the untamed wilderness;
(All was silent except for the sound
Of the river)
My eyes grazed the
Opposite bank and
I was awestruck
To see a large black wolf
Come off a game trail.
He
Stepped out of the woods.
There stopping and locking
Inquisitive eyes
With us.
He was magnificent;
Splendid in his stance.
I could not move,
Could not breathe.
In that moment I felt something so primal
And beautiful inside;
As if connected beyond comprehension of the mind.
This has stayed with me always.
I know in nature
Honest
Unexpected
Answers come forward
When you are ready to listen.

Lone night;
Wolf howls.
It is you I hear.
The sky is wide
And echoes deep
The longing underneath.
I sleep under the open sky.
I beckon
The night mountain air come take
Me away.
I wish to drift through the trees
The pines and the rocks;
Dance over cliffs and through valleys
By the light of the moon.
Invisible and silent.
I will caress the wings of the owl as she hunts;
I am the cool air the wolf inhales deep,
That which brings the longing and power
To her howl.
I beg the wind
Come drench my soul
And take me home.
