WOLF I
Upon a trail forgotten A beast before me, passing I glimpsed you in a life before Just as silver, quick, and flashing Let the ravens cackle As a beckon or a warning I am animal enough to find Your heart before the morning Hackles raised To the heavens In the still of the dawn Tooth and blade In protection Of blood yet to be drawn In the forest vast and open With all my senses heightened Softly I step forth upon the earth Where for you the path has widened Pursuit gives way to voyage As the ice begins to thaw While blue eyes still elusive Keep the pace from toe to paw Hackles raised To the heavens In the still of the dawn Tooth and blade In protection Of blood yet to be drawn

O, Wizard, the magic you’re wielding I can see its power I can see what you’re shielding Within you a creature is feeling I can see it cower Have you strength for healing? O, Wizard, your sorcery’s admired I can feel its shape I can feel you as you fire Within you a crystal heart is beating I can feel it break Tell me, are you bleeding? Your wisdom flowing Silvered and vast Crystalled and glowing Future and past All that’s broken Still belongs All that’s spoken Greets the dawn All that is broken still belongs All that is spoken greets the dawn All that you open goes on and on O, Wizard, the spells you’ve cast are broken I can hear its cry The creature has awoken Within you the shard all shift and angle I can hear inside Your mortal soul, entangled Your wisdom flowing Silvered and vast Crystalled and glowing Future and Past
