Perhaps it was the eyes of the wolf,
measured,calm,knowing.
Perhaps it was the intense sense of family.
After all,wolves mate for life,are loyal partners,
create hunting communities and demonstrate
affectionate patience in pup rearing.
Perhaps it was the rigid hierarchy of the pack.
Each wolf had a place in the whole
and yet retained his individual personality.
Perhaps it was their great,romping,
ridiculous sense of fun.
Perhaps it was some celestial link
with the winter night skies
that prompled the wolf to lay is song on the icy air.
For the native people who lived with the wolves,
(and the wolves once ranged
from the Arctic tot the sub-tropics)
there was much to learn from them.
Is it any wonder that the myths of many tribes
characterize the wolves not as killers,
but as teachers?

be there to guide

the Shadow of day
and night.
Your shadow.
We've roamed the wild country
My beautiful yellow eyes,
Side by side we've hunted
Shadows dancing on northern skies.
There have been times of plenty
We were content and serene,
Peacefully sleeping
Dangers few and far between.
We've also known much hunger
Ribs protruding from each side,
Mournfully we howled
When our starving cubs had died.
And then there was our first winter
Romping through the glistening snow,
Tasting each crystal snowflake
Falling gently to and fro.
Ah my dear, sweet yellow eyes
I've known no greater love,
Without you, I am nothing
Our wild souls are one.
And now you lay there dying
Steel jaws upon your frame,
Life's blood slowly seeping
I whimper your sweet name.
Helpless, I watch you struggle
Chest heaving with labored breath,
Steel jaws clenching tighter
Winds whisper the song of death.
The blood has now stopped flowing
I know the time is near,
And you will forever leave me
My love, my life, my dear.
And now my world is silent
Your struggles now have ceased,
I lay my head upon you
And know you are at peace.
Perhaps your soul has lifted
To skies where eagles soar,
And there you'll greet your brothers
To run with them forever more.
And someday I shall find you
In the heaven's so far above,
And when our wild soul's unite
There'll be no greater love.
Free of spirit, body and soul
To her heart there was no key,
Captured by nothing, nothing at all
I wonder even by me.
In her veins ran the ultimate symbol
Of triumph over time,
Her beauty was a picture
Of the perfect design.
Her eyes held the ghost of ancestors
That roamed before,
Strength, courage and grace
She was to the core.
High upon a mountain
She now stands so regally,
A wisp of wind, she fades away
But not from my memory.
With amber eyes
he watches.
Over his pack,
his family.
Strong together
as they hunt
for survival.
With angry eyes
he sees.
Fences across land,
men with guns,
and a thrill.
He only kills
to survive.
With sad eyes
he looks.
At sharp traps,
the soft furs
of his pups.
They didn't run
to survive.
So he asks,
why did he
survive?
I am a wolf,
running through the trees.
Following the scents
on the midnight breeze.
I am a wolf,
howling beneath a silver moon.
Hoping that my loyal pack
will answer back quite soon.
I am a wolf,
standing with my beautiful mate.
We must stand strong and brave,
and face any challenges we meet.
I am a wolf,
hunting with my pack.
With the young and old wolves waiting
for meat to be brought back.
I am a wolf,
and I must kill to survive.
But isn't that something we all must do
in order to stay alive?
I am a wolf,
withstanding man's fear and hate.
But many have come to love wolves,
and for us that's quite a treat.
I am a wolf,
wild fierce, and free.
Living in forests and mountains
streching as far as the eye can see.
I am a wolf,
I'd never want to be anything more.
And I hope that even after I'm gone
there will be wolves forevermore...
