Wolf Clan  by Jim TwoFeathers

I was born of the wolf………My birth clan

But you are not near ………Hardly are you far!!!

You are fading from my sight….to a far far land

Yet I see you everywhere.

Posters here…….T shirts there!

How can we be so drawn to you.....yet fear

And not want to let you live.......near

As I walk through the wilderness of my ancestors 

I suddenly feel…

The hairs on my neck bristle…...A sudden.......tingle!

I am being watched…...my scent and yours is in the air.

I look around I know your there...watching…waiting.

What do I feel… Fear? Do I run or hold my ground.

I can only stand here and feel your presence.

You are in my head, my being, my ancient past.

I know your fear….you are the last.

The sadness in your eyes shakes me to the core….

You show me your light of understanding….dimming!!!

You turn and walk into the mist of time……as so many before.
