Wolf In the Mist

The darkness sleeping in the hills sifts soon with crawling mists, a scarf of scarlet horizon.... Framed a furrow of mystic candy, its manna sweet in the setting sun, to eyes soaking soulful, quiet sudden in the breath of winds ---- And the trees tease with holes in the veil of this hallowed place; ancient, begging some lonely being to notice its supple leaving Its hello shall be brief ---- like a falling star, Its goodbye unforgotten, like a good lover, I shall return again ---- like a gray wolf in pink-smoke (howling under an olden moon) I wait in silver shadows.... To spin another moment in the mist

Thanks Linda, I'll take it as a major compliment coming from you! I have a fondness for wolves, their ancient and mysterious quality, in many ways they symbolize freedom and even beauty to me. This wolf seemed to fit in the piece.

Hi Keith, I like the illusions spinning around this moment. Your writing is very captivating, like the fallen star, I find a sad hint in the air... However, I find this poem to be the best one I've read all week. Not for nothing, but I love this poem, maybe it's the wolf and its imagery!! Thanks for pointing me this way... xox~ Linda
