The Prairie Wolf

The pasture smiled and gave its blessing nearby the sacred gentle river Solemn sun sent tender rays through the moisture of dispersing clouds Shadows of dawn had turned into a clement plethora of infinite shades A bristlecone pine oozed sap and nourished bundles of evergreen need Moss kindled seeds of adventure as it reflected surreptitious secrets The spring was far away in the passing of time place and direction Clandestine water was calm as it carried its cargo back to the Source Dew paid due respect as it cradled condensation into prism of thought ‘You cannot jump into the same watercourse twice’ Jordan pondered How to cross to the other side with no imminent island no stepping stone Bridging the gap between memories anticipation and untold conclusion ‘Retreat to the interlude of passage but do not suspend the journey' Only a fool waits for the cascades of being to abate before travelling By now the full moon cast ivory spells to harvest crops of uncertain salvation A coyote howled in the distance but Jordan proceeded sheltered by Earth He left the glimmering camp fire garnered momentum and passion Plied caution into courage forged resilience and audacious determination Asked for lunar guidance put faith into dreams let go of the past and floated 06th March 2019
