Guardians of the Sky Road
Swirling with jumps and speed
The crimped and vague green motion flew
Through the eyes of the woodland court of wolves
Within their legacy of feral wilderness
As they descended from their obscure cathedrals
Driven from the twilight brush and branch
Howling, prancing with singing whimpers
Dancing in the circle of their royal rogue pilgrimage
Aligned within their heralded order
As the heirs of distant ancestral calling
Blunted and bent in their nobleness-
Theses guardians of the sky road
Gather in their ancient sacred quest
To summon the moon mother
To awaken to the lupine's equinox
There in the thrum of their zeal they traversed
Into the core of mystical madness
With open mouths
Flashing their pearlescent teeth
The tang of their snouts quivered and huffed
Charged with oblivious and naked determination
To plumb the mad soul of the moon
In this peerless eventide
Igniting the ritual of their kinship with Spring
