Never Thought You’d Come
I know you, or so it feels,The wolf howls, the angel kneels,The wind whispers – I never thought you’d come. Mountains call, the rivers speak,The heart is strong, the knees go weak,The magpies laugh – […]

One Day (A Poem)

Because I Was a Lion Once (A Poem)
Because I was a lion once,
I hear the call of the wild,
Smell the sweet fragrance of the aspens
Pulling me toward the mountaintops.
Never lost and never to be forgotten.
Because I was a lion once,
Demons sent to frighten me,
Only cause my soul to growl.
A whispered roar to warn the beasts,
I own them. I am their king.
Because I was a lion once,
I roam where my soul wants to go,
And seek no recompense for my wanderings,
For I will starve if she do demands,
And I will feed when her hand opens to to my call.
Because I was a lion once,
This pride, this brood, I shall defend,
Clarity abounds in the process of my starvation,
A frenzy ensures in the hour of its quenching,
I can not silence nature’s call.
Because I was a lion once,
I know my time is near its end,
Yet no tear forms in the thought of this departure,
For I know with each passing day I shall return,
To be a lion yet again.
