POETICALLY NAKED

THE WOLF AND THE SWAN

The Wolf And The Swan

For most,

Is not who I am

But what I am

For a second in time,

I have lived a thousand years

But for the flash of a moment,

I spent with you

this shall last forever.

Know one knows were the spirit dwells

But you know.

you took me there in passion

to a place where my hearts been hiding

you picked it up and gave it back.

love is to be free

not bound to the ground

held so tight

it dies.

a trace of your soul is in my veins

for all along my heart has been within it's self

happiness is a stone

a willow slowly blowing alone

no one understands the unspoken words your spirt spoke

but I do

the wolf came to me but in a dream

and I was not afraid

for the wolf brought

peace and happiness

it was seen in his eyes

the fire of life run below the cold water's stream.

and this is where the feather falls to earth.

and the wolf dwells.

I stood there not afraid

I listened to his unspoken words

they came from his heart

his soul

they were pure and good

for most

it is not who I am

but what I am

and as he turned to walk away

the stone turned

and the willow blew two

and the heart flew free

for he looked back to say....

all thoughts lie within one's true self

and I shall call you swan

and together

we will walk

in the dream world

unafraid
