while eagles soar high over rugged mountains of south carolina through writings shared WolfSpirit takes shape my mind pictures the man in all his wisdom half human half spirit i hear his deep voice gentle with tones of clarity and insight the philosopher speaks with intensity and full gamut of emotion from depths within he wears his name like a headdress more than a mere badge of honor he pays tribute to both land and its creator behind him a noble lineage of a proud peaceful people his code is truth and honor delving into life and its many meanings pondering the implications of beauty and the beast his poetry reflects on dreams alive and broken past hurts and scars life and love interwoven and all the rest that binds mankind through harmonious melodies of visions of brotherhood AP: 1st place 2020, Honorable Mention 2023 Submitted on August 9, 2020 for contest N/A RERUN 10 sponsored by JOHN HAMILTON and July 29, 2020 for contest STRAND COMPLETELY NEW (15) sponsored by BRIAN STRAND

I love this poem, Line. I like "deep voice gentle with tones of clarity" and "love interwoven" and "visions of brotherhood". Wonderful.

This put me in mind of the Greeks of ancient times, where the eagle is a symbol I so often use in my poetry when pertaining to Greece. I loved your poetry and its symbolism. Julie

WolfSpirit sounds like a character from Native American lore and you have described him beautifully, Line. I do hope that one day mankind will be able to move beyond "past hurts and scars" and live harmoniously. As John Lennon said, "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one." An extraordinary poem for Brian's contest and a fave for me. Hugs, Carolyn
