Wado Pointed Ears

My dear friend I keep you often in my mind
You guided me to my native path 
Dancing with me through feilds of time
Where to an Elder I have talked at last
To find what might be my truer name 
Though Red Pony I hold close as
She runs through my hearts flame 
Red Pony flying through the fields of wheat 
Painted hand prints on her cheeks 
A warrior and lover who fights when true
Not a battle could be lost between I and you 
Fox tails swish through thick forests trees
I peer through amber lenses and you peer back at me
Wado I speak into pointed ears 
A wolf brother stands where a fox had appeared
Mingled tails meet as they greet one another 
Waiting for the name to be spoken from an elder.

You must have a thing for the Fantasy genre. This was awesome. You set the tone very well!

I do a bit. Sometimes I tend to write in what I think of a literal/non-literal sense. Where it could be taken both ways. This is one of those times, where I describe us as wolf and fox but am also speaking of spirit totems and Native names. Im currently awaiting to receive my new name :3
