We are Beasts
Two-legged
and four-legged
beasts!
We all want
the same things:
food, love, protection,
shelter,
and to protect our families.
We are vicious, loving, ferocious
Beasts!
Leave our family alone
or pay the price
of the pack.
Remember
we are beasts!
The Wild
She whispers to me,
so only I can hear;
she looks at me so that
only I can see her.
Her beauty
comes from deep
within her soul,
far from her ancestors,
yet still I can see the moon
reflecting in her stare.
She is wolf, dog, friend!
I am the alpha – pack leader.
I hear her
whispers in the wind
and the call of her
ancestors,
the call of the wild
dancing on the mountains.
We are all
one voice,
when we learn
to listen to
the pulse
of love.
The call of the wild…
Between Yesterday and Tomorrow…
Old faces ravaged by broken dreams,
crooked spines from carrying heavy burdens from day to day and year to year.
They waited, but tomorrow never came; yesterday has past and passed.
Broken hearts don’t know that they’re broken until they find a place in time somewhere between yesterday and tomorrow.
Where dreams are like the faces of children, innocent and pristine.
Where love shines like the sun and life is like fine wine.
Just another broken dream on an old and wrinkled face until yesterday brings tomorrow…
