Spirit wolf by myside, sings her song to hide.
All the pain and sorrow she sees, and for her family which includes me.
She sings into the night to her sister moon shining so bright, why is my family being oppressed it cause so much stress.
Why is their voice being drowned out by the white mans gun that cause so much distruction with out reluctance.
Sister she cries show me a way through this gloom to a place where all can be shared with whom ever wants to ecsape the upcoming doom.
Spirit wolf crys my sister in the sky who I love so much why does man want to destroy that which he doesn't fully comprehend.
All things have life and that life should be respected and protected.
Only should you take what you need to survive, never should you be greedy and try to give to the needy.
Sister she sings do you see what I see they try to control everything they know.
But sister moon don't they know they can't control the wind, rain, the sun, the moon, the spirit that lies within side, life or even death which all must one day face only time can erase this disgrace.
Sister moon I cry to you for it seems vain if they never stop this insane display of behavior today.
I need the loom of a place where the once ways are still practiced each and every day.
Show me the way I pray to mend this broken heart of mine.
And in time end the disarray that would be a glorious day.
Until then may I sing of my sorrows and the song of my fathers on this sacred ground which so many have perished the ones that I cherish I promise you I will protect in every way until the end of their days.

very well written poem. You use imagery here well and its speaks loudly on how you view things. Great job

A very worthwhile read, one that reminds us of the ways that should be followed to this day. As my hemeoone always says 'all life is precious'and none less than that of all creatures, especially the wolf. Thank you for this and well done.

Written with such feeling and I really love it. You cry to the moon as well then when you need a spiritual friend? So do I, because it is a forgotten need from eons ago when humans were just another species of animal and we all had our instincts intact.
