The Lion-Wolf

i wanted to make my own symbol, and have a poem to go with it :)

The Lion-Wolf

I am the rampant Lion,

I am the passant wolf.

The attacking beast.

The patient stalker.

I hold in my hands, power and wisdom.

The ability to fight and the ability to learn.

The ability to save and the ability to destroy.

I am the Lion-Wolf,

I’m Rampant and Passant.

I will hunt you down.

I will defend you to my last breath.

I will murder you coldly,

Or I will save you from death.

I will lead my army,

Or go it alone.

Using every weapon, even my bones.

I am the Lion-Wolf,

I am Both Rampant and Passant

Author's Note

Just something i slapped together for my new symbol, i love the "Cloudy Wolf" or "Fenrir" symbol from the Final Fantasy Seven movie "Advent Children." but i did not want that to be my only symbol, wolfs embody intelligence, and cunning. but i needed a symbol for strength and nobility, and i began reading up on the Heraldry and other symbols, while the dragon and the griffin are both very powerful looking creatures, they neither symbolized strength, the dragon symbolized wealth and power(in the terms of magical powers not physical and mental strength) and the Griffin only symbolized beauty and faith.
So, i keep the wolf, and add to it, the Lion in its Rampant state, the Wolf will be worn on my left shoulder, and the Lion on my left, for now though, they will be worn, Wolf on my wrist, and Lion around my neck.

Great poem keep up the great work

[Rhine Wolf]

[trainwreck]

Very good write! I was quite impressed.

[lifesmith]

true, no one is 100% good or 100% bad...it just depends on what they want you to see

[KAREN]

Great imagery and drama in this piece!

[.]

interesting contrasts between the nature of the beast..well done

[Poetic Beauty]

I liked the contrast in the poem. it is like a yin and yang thing. The good and the bad. A protector through and through. This was done well and flowed smoothly

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

I like the personal feeling of this poem. The themes are obviously very close to your spirit and that creates a shared experience for the reader. This character you develop in yourself from these guardians is an inspiration.

excellent (:

[Dragon]

Great structure. I like the strong voice you keep as you write this one. The picture is very descriptive on what you meant. Good stuff! :)
