The world relies on
Would could or should
Thinly veiled words of
Wishes thoughts of maybes
And options and convenience
Ideas conjured from not
Quite good enoughs hitching
People to the back
Of horse’s rather than
Letting them ride too
There’s an unspoken hierarchy
A better than thou
A you’re lucky to
Get even this much
If you’re giving me
So little with a
Promise for more keep
What you have you
Need it for yourself
I’m fine over here
Two wolves one mountain
Two faces similar howls
Echo or each other
Meant to attract or
Warn symbolizing their territory
A crack a brush
And then a scent
Carried on winters winds
To dissuade or entice
Not food but foe
Perhaps friend maybe mate
Caution but not fear
For both knows the
Other knows but not
Circling and then growling
Paws outstretched and then
Touch and finally brothers
Once again and forever
Now running then chasing
And eventually sleeping and
Keeping each other warm
Now no more loneliness
Our hearts see what
Our eyes often cannot
Our bodies carry us
Ours souls then converse
The only trusted way
To go about our
Business is obviously blindly
I met a man
Recently and by accident
Passing through my town
Gone from his holiday
On his way home
Here for the night
And we just talked
Like two weary travelers
On the road of
Life recalling our adventures
Definitely a chance meeting
Which has now carried
On to more days
Of conversation as though
Hearts stopped to rest
In a most unlikely
Place but known to
Souls as hopes wayside
My nighttime dreams brought
Happiness an odd array
Of characters had gathered
To surprise me on
My birthday hosted by
My ex husband and
Attended by long lost
At one time friends
Now serving his command
The war he declared
Against me years ago
But my dream was
A bit of homecoming
As though I’d entered
The gates of Heaven
It was like it
Was many years ago
