Back fron the gates of shades I come
wolves howling at my heels
I do not hurry, flee or run
they send me back
my day not done
*
The wolf is my companion
my guide and my protector
my journey yet unfinished
my work not wholly done.

Wolf detail from painting by Yasmin Flint.
Is it obscure the thoughts of wolves makes me all warm and fuzzy?

ReplyDeleteOh my, what beautiful words to go with the wonderful painting. Thank you for the visit, Arija
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words Arija! I hope all is well. I am thinking of you.

There is something about wolves that touches my heart. Don't know quiet well why, but I feel safe at their thought. Beautiful prose and thoughts. I hope you are doing well and rain is on the horizon.
ReplyDeleteWonderful wolfy words!
ReplyDeleteThis must be work by one of your grand daughters.. There is so much talent in your family.. lovely poem to compliment... Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteA lovely painting and words to go with it!
ReplyDeletemust be a beautiful painting!
ReplyDeleteFirst it looks scary but your poetry dissolves them all...Beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteIntense stuff all the way.
ReplyDeleteThe wolf is my native American totem. This is an amazing painting..
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting and beautiful words! What a lovely way to start the day! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI really like this, reminded me a bit of the Orpheus story. Wonderful wolf, too!
ReplyDeleteDear Arija thank you so much to take the time and tell me about that problem with answering thisandthat.I have a look into it. It is so annoying for people who would like to write, take the time and it does not go through; sigh...
ReplyDeleteI think the wolf is beautiful and the poetry to go with it as well. Wolfes have always been maligned. Rotkaeppchen is a good example.
I drew in my breath quickly when I saw this painting! Delightful! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome! Wonderful to hear your 'voice' again. Trusting you are recovering/ed and enjoying life to the full again. happy days to you. by the by, when i was a kid, wolves or thoughts of them used to scare me.
ReplyDeleteA wolf is such a regal creature!
ReplyDeleteArija you are right! The horrible music comes with my slide, I don't know how to get rid of it! The video is ok. but the slide is wrong.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great animal this wolf is.
ReplyDeleteAbout the music, Arija: I fixed it by simply putting something else on the slide. Now you can hear the French chanson again.
Is the wolf your totem? Lovely words about a regal animal.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of a local drama series. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteA painter and a poet in one!
