Shaman
Dark ........wolves break the silence at your door,
sleeping soundly you parade your dreams,
whimpering and howling wolves implore,
something stirring is not what it seems
Turn your face more dearly to the night,
wrap your eyes in fleece and downy black
sinister the summons and the plight,
wolves are here to finally bring you back,
You who saw the dawning of the day,
you who made the path to what we are
wolves have come to take you on your way,
back to reconnecting with a star.
Glowing eyes regard you with regret,
for you have failed the test,
you grow less human with each day you set,
primievil eyes have watched as you've regressed.
The image that you once so surely shared,
has gone and slid away across the sky,
the wolves are here to say you never cared,
The gift is taken back and you must fly.
What have you done with years and months and hours,
bright quiver filled to last a warriors' life..........
you drank the potion, bleeding now the powers,
Uncut,the cord of childbirth,awaits the knife.
Awaken to the end of all you kept,
the wolves will take you back as far as home,
the universe has faltered while you slept,
Now you must take the blame ,for all you've sown.
