It calls me from the depths of darkness

Beckons me with a white hand

Motioning in the dank abyss

I crawl forward hoping

Watching the silent illusion

It calls to me in the night hours

Awakens inside my mortal shell

A hope

Calls forth the creative fountain to spring forth

To devour all hatred and loss

To transform it in to soul

A spirit guides my hand as it writes

Prods my mind to listen

To the sweet calling

Of the white wolf

Darkness

Calmness

Watching myself

Now slipping slowly away

From the shining sun of daylight

I fly

Flight

Over the treetops I soar

Leaving myself in the wake

No longer bound by hate I rise

Higher and find the illumination

The sunlight streams softly

Through cloudless sky

The falcons are beside me

My brethren the wolves…

Follow my flight in awe

They ponder on the mercies of the dawn

Which sheds light on all things

Dispelling my darkness

Bringing hope. 

I lie awake at night

Waiting for the dawn

I listen to the sounds

As I hear the rest of the world come to a silence

I watch for the shadows to descend

As the silver moon rises

It sheds illumination

On the night’s obscurities

I know they wait for me at journey’s end

All knowing, they wait for the beginning

In deprivation they are real

All the world becomes an illusion

Silently they speak of life

As I slowly die

In agony of bliss.

I lie resting in the cabin

The window to my left

What a marvelous sight

The waves roll by without a care

Tossing the ship on their way

I watch them in awe as they pass me

Crashing into the sides

They call to me

Waiting for my return to the dark depths

The wind howls my name

It whispers to me in the still night

Silently the  clouds pass overhead

A glorious day ends

A night of darkness is upon us.

In a serene field

A wolf lies basking in the sunlight

As the breeze blows softly upon his fur

He waits for sunset

The end to this bright world

An escape from the light of day

He lies watching the sun lazily

As it slides along the sky

Watching its progression

Until it dies and falls behind the horizon

Consumed in a funeral of flame

The night brings cool moonlight

He rises

Walks over to the gentle stream

Fascinated

While the moonlight plays upon the water

The light glistens in his eyes

Telling him of oceans far away

Of glorious sunsets

Of the starlit heavens

How precious

The heavens that shine eternally above

He is finished

As he looks up to the heavens

He spots a lone wolf in the distance

He joins her

Together they sing the beauty

Of moonlight upon the water.

It’s not the flowers

Or the words

Or the time that you spend

It’s the heart that you put into it

It’s not the timing

Or the romanticism of it all

It’s the trust you give to them

It’s not how long you are together

It’s how you spend it

It’s not love

Unless you put your all into it.

Falling lightly upon my window

Drumming out the memories

Of storms past

Lightning flashes

Illuminating the still darkness

Casting shadows on my conscience

The past winds of turmoil

Tear through a forest of serenity

Leaving devastation in their wake

My mind is torn by past wars

As the darkness rages within

As the rain falls swiftly upon my shoulders

I run from my past

The cold harsh winds whip my back

I run endlessly

With the shadows at my side

Always watching

Waiting for my mind to weaken

To crumble…

I shall stay the darkness…..

For how much longer….

I ask the wind…

A lone boy finds himself stranded

A midsummer day’s dream

Beckoning softly

As a quiet breeze passes by

The light outside fades into dusk

As the sun sets upon a autumn scene

Leaves fall casting shadows upon the wall

Burning inside the open sky

A gentle sigh escapes the boy

As he falls into the night

A frozen tree

Caught in winter’s grip

Lies outside the window

Its branches stiffened by the harsh cold

The biting frost

Eats into the bark

Breaking into its inner soul

The ice tears into the inner heart

Freezing all emotion

The snow slows

The sun rises as it hangs in the air

The breeze stills and falters

As the dawn breaks through the blind sky

A new day is born

And a dream dies.

The storms of life
Each trial
Each second of pain
Every tear shed
All of these shadows
Cast upon our life
They toss us in the night
They drench us in the day
With sorrow
Pain
They rain upon our dreams
Take away our hopes
This darkness
Fear not
For we have hope
We have light
If we hold onto it
It will lead us out of the shadows
Back into our dreams

The sunlit valley lies east
The darkness has faded softly with the morning rays
Stars darken
As azure streaks break
The light breeze falls upon my cheek
Leaves rustle by my side
Falling all about
Like raindrops upon the sky
Time passes by
As seconds fade into afternoon
The sky darkens
The pale moon rises to the crimson sun
Whose death signifies the end of day
Time slows as gentle lights break the shadowed hills
Trees stand in stark recollection
Each leaf illuminated by silver light
They whisper sweet nothings
Lullabies
Carrying me into the night
That sweet slumber
