Notes About The Poem

Lamenting a Call

What mystery his essence brings firm the limbs roaming through the hills, amid the bushy, shadowed trees his call… the fragrant air, refills. And sacred eyes guide night’s passage that clear the forest, to imbue a rugged grace that comes alive in moonglow’s tint and furry hues. Listening to the Gray Wolf's song, when he yelps out to harmonize kinship with man, an ancient rite, while guarding the clan…his blest prize. Though named by time as spirit- peace, oh hunters’ greed drains a friend’s blood as winds lament the saddest howl; immortal he rests on fields, lulled. *Protect America's Wolf...https://howlingforjustice.wordpress.com Shadow Hamilton's Contest Canis Lupus The Wolf 4/7/15

The Wilderness would no longer be the Wilderness without the "Songs of the Wolf" hanging upon the thin night air...How strangely "devoid" and "desolate" that Wilderness would be! Good work, Nette! My very best regards!! :) john.

Wonderfully penned...so true. The wolves are so endangered; people don't realize their value; perhaps one day they will. I hope that it's not too late, then.
