The Wolf, The Coyote and Me

While on my Journey

I came to a large Boulder at a bend in the road.

I near it feeling both power, excitement and fear.

I proceeded slowly until…

Just rounding the Boulder…

Wolf crouches, In the middle of the road, ready to spring.

All I can do is stand and stare.

Him crouched, me standing 

Both eying each other.

Hearing a growl behind me, I shiver

Ever so slowly I turn my head

Out one corner I see Coyote.

Out of the other corner remains Wolf

Forever... passes under the gaze of both

Wolf speaks!

“To move ahead you must pass through me”

I hear Coyote “snicker” behind me.

Yet, I stand frozen.

Then quick as lighting they both leap

The power of their jump knocks me into blackness.

I awaken into the gaze…

The gaze, of two pair of eyes looking down at me.

“When movement is called for…. Move!!!” says, Wolf.

Coyote, of course continues to snicker

“I was at your Birth,” says Wolf

I have watched your walk of Two Spirits

The White and the Red

The Light and The Dark

Then the Y in the road became two paths…you and Coyote

Now you come to the Y at the other end

This road merges as the union of two…becomes three!

I stand shaken, dust myself off and continue on

Wolf to my right and Coyote to my Left (chuckling still)
