Songs of Life

The she-wolf sits upon the rock In plain view the creature surveys her land Empty of human life, yet always moving With the activity of the animals of the forest The sun is setting in the west And it's time to sing Her muzzle is raised and so it begins Peacefulness and pain Life and death Sunshine and rain Confusion and understanding Sadness and Happiness Love and hate Are poured into the sky in a constantly changing melodious howl And drift over the land Filling all of those who hear it With awe and wonder at the glorious sound The meaning of her song is understood By those who listen But humans are deaf to the songs of the wolf They have shut their ears to its meaning No one cares for the truth that is told By the honest ones of this earth We should listen to the music of nature For every note tells a story A story meant for all of us If only we could hear
