Wolf Song

Oh sensitive wolf
what has caused you to share your song
what has caused you to lift your voice
in beauty
to the heavens
in the quiet hush of the forest
with the stars hanging low
where snowflakes fall
like silent whispers
to the ground

oh wondering human
I sing my song to my Creator
For giving me life
For making me free
For allowing me to exist
Without the weight of guilt
Without the fear of death

Take a lesson from me
Wondering human
Laugh joyfully
Love freely
Take time to observe the stars
And the beauty that is set before you
Rest peacefully
And love Our Creator
For giving us life

Eternal and Almighty God
Has given me life
Has filled my soul
With my wolf song and
That is why I sing
So mournfully
So beautifully and
So thankfully

Hi Indi...

Thank you so much for stopping in to read my work:) Actually, it is error:( Thank you for pointing it out. I forgot to finish editing it. There was a period of about 2 weeks that I wrote, nonstop. I think my eyes were stinging and my brain was pretty foggy:) What you read in this is exactly what I hoped to portray. I believe I felt this write very much and I am happy you understood it. Thank you!! catherine

Yes I see that also Indi

Back to visit wolfy and Indi was correct in his observation about the cap thing. (now Indi how in the heck I missed that one? LOL) but I guess I was too involved with the story/poem to notice that one. This line I think I love the most is this: I sing my song to my Creator. Thank you for this poem. Magics02

Hi Magics...

Yes, it was error. I need to finish editing it:) I very much appreciate your kind, encouragement concerning my poem. I personally believe that we all have our own unique, individual song to sing while we are here:) Thank you! wolfy ~ catherine

I should say..

"It is error." I get so lost with this grammar thing at times:)
