It Brings A Yearning For The Wild

Each was born of tender light

that shone upon the soft white clay.

A blessing laid in silver thoughts.

It brought a taste of promises.

The ritual made her offspring strong.

She placed the forest in their souls

a lingering scent of earthy loam

initiates their love of life.

The shadow creature activates

her love of inner masculine.

An offer in the darkness cold

it gives a yearning for the wild.

A blood scent lingers in the air

they hunt the woods and roam the hills.

Through rocks and stones to find the kills

within the clearing in a glen.

A dancers' grace is held within

the silence as they stalk their prey.

The power of their haunches brings

an image of a silver arc.

Despite the withering of the tree,

the sharpness of the day is felt

as flat clear sheets of cedar bark

hold ashen shavings of the hunt.

When her pack is running free

the power of the midnight brings

a howling resurrection song,

that thrums beneath the forest floor.
