Coyote song

Just a effort at music

                                Coyote song

On a quiet nights.
When the sky is clear.
Lonely people wait for no-one.
They pray to the moon and they make a fool's wish.
To repeat the dance  with old lovers on empty beaches.
To rebirth dreams lost in the cold September breezes.

From a distance.
A lone Coyote.
He sings to the moon.
His song is for his missed companion.
Can be heard by the lonely souls.

The memories of first sweet kisses.
The splendor of making love till the morning light.
The kind and sweet moment of looking into eyes of lovers.
Leave a empty spot needing a tender touch of love.

The Coyote song is a sound to rebirth hope.
He still called for his companion.
He called to the moon to announce his hunger and desire.
To run free and together again with his companion.

Sometime the sea can heal great pain.
Sometime you need to sing to the moon for forgiveness.
Love can falter and leave us weak and alone.
Time is the healer.
New doors must be re-open.

The song of two Coyotes can be heard now.
The call of the night brought his companion back.
They dance and run into the night together.
They sit upon a hill.
Give thanks in song of the Coyote to the moon for the gift of a return.

A lonely man hear the song of the two Coyotes.
Made him smile.
He closes his eyes and remember his missed love.
He does a silence prayer to know happiness.
To be like the Coyote.
To be able to run free and find someone to celebrate life with.
He walk away with less burden and sadness from the sea.

Author's Note

Finally a new poem. I try to write a song. I missed the point completely.

Reviews

[Helen Crutchett]

There is something about coyote's. They somehow seem to be just mystical creatures and you have written so eloquently on the song of the coyote. The subjects blend so beautifully together. Many descriptive stanzas fill this outstanding poem from beginning to end. Well done, loved it!.

[futurepast.]

I believe reminiscence is what propelled you to write something as deep as this poem. So many beautiful stories in this poem, and I am sure they are loved and dear memories to you. I love the way you built the story - it starts sadly and ends happily, with the lonely coyote thinking of its past love, and wishing it had it back, and in the end the coyote is no longer lonely. I also love the image at the end, where the lonely man is looking at the two coyotes, thinking of his missed love, which brings out the theme of hope. Given your name is 'Coyote Poetry', and that this poem is about coyotes, I am sure there are some connections and hidden metaphors in here. A beautiful, well narrated and profound write. Keep it up.

Refreshing, and the true essence of a writer whom I love and adore, turning released edges that secure your fearless nature.

The photos are wonderful, the story of life and love, as free as the Coyote in the night. I thought the last stanza was an excellent summation, especially this line: "To be able to run free and find someone to celebrate life with."...

Wondrous piece to express the freedom of the soul.

When I used to howl at the girls they called me a dog!!!! (laughing) I've listened to the coyotes yipping and yelping many a night...I knew they were talking to each other. And now I know what it was all about. This was sentimental and moving.

The flow in your poem is amazing to say the least.
