The Howling Winds

The wisdom can hurt even if the truth is solid

What is felt is different than what is known

The emotions of a journey’s cadence is chaos

While the knowledge is sure feet upon the ground

What happens must happen

Intuition to be tempered by wisdom

How becomes the winds of chaos and sorrow

 

Pure sighted realities see far distances

The wolf and the man are integrally tied

No separating fur from flesh

The spirit, soul, flesh and blood

All flowing upon the Earth as one

Time bares no malice and pain shall be persevered

 

Speaking are the sundered

Broken yes, but in times long ago

It was the desert glow that once again wove life whole

Threads have now been severed

Patience I shall have and must have

But I haven’t a home to which to return

 

Disregarding all falsehoods for they mattered not

All things crooked would straighten in times graces

This within the knowing was true

Have and take all of which I am and might ever be

Becoming anything else floods the spirit with weakness

Granting you all strength that is within, I always will

 

Destiny and the course came clear in the mask

Within the square and holdings of antiquities the path awakened

Expectations of mountains and storms to be sure

Yet, the journey is one made of two

Two of uniqueness upon any horizon that may shine, together

Solve the puzzle, for you I pray, for you I stand.

Wolves are so awesome --I used have one as a young lad. I do like your poem and see it as a tribute to that which you hold so dear. As with all poetry items I would need to see two or three of them from you in order to rate this one. So far so good though!

Wow! I felt the spirits of my ancestors in this piece. The Wolf, The Eagle and The Bear ...

[Wolfwind]

I'm glad it offered a feeling in it's weave of words. Thanks for reading. =)

Splendid read and write. A oneness that is a rare sight. Bravo!

[Wolfwind]

Thank you for stopping in and reading.

This was a very amazing poem, Aaron! So far you have disappointed me, and I know that your ink won't. Great job, using metaphor for one important message: that sometimes wisdom is painful. And I agree...you've made an excellent point with wolves and destiny.
I love the mysterious essence throughout this piece of writing and how you created a harmonious, beautiful beat.
Wonderful job! Keep up the great work!

Thank you! For a piece that writen with a rather morose and sorrowful edge upon the soul at the time. Your positive review gives it other meanings that I hadn't seen when it was first put to pen. I appreciate your time and your comments... even if I have disappointed you... ;) (Looks like the contraction gods may have been on strike, eh? ha ha)

[Lone Wolf]

No, you won't disappoint me. I had never, ever known that you have 29 pages of your writing. 29 PAGES. Amazing from start to end. XD

[Wolfwind]

Thanks Owl! I know that. I was just chuckling at the typo in the initial review. ;)

[Lone Wolf]

My review or yours? Wait...oh, yeah. Now I see it. :)

[Glen Yumang Manese]

One with the canine in this write...again like your other works...they have that theme in them...you can come out with something of a reflection in each one I read...and this just adds to the verses...that you just do not read...but gain interest and take with you...

[Wolfwind]

Thank you! I'm not surprised that the canine shows up. All the pieces that have a wolf in the picture are in some way related a particular personal set of expreriences that revolve around two people during a very difficult yet eye opening time of life. I appreciate your view on the piece! Thanks for stopping by this one as well! =)

[Glen Yumang Manese]

It was not made know - until I read the story and that gives a better outlook into this one now...I was just thinking you like wolves as a hobby...

[Wolfwind]

The Wolf is my Spirit Guide... or Totem. It's part of my beliefs and spirituality. =)
