Wolves at Sunset
Wolves at Sunset

I’m running now

under a thick and heavy sky.

The air is on fire and the sky is blazing.
bursts of starlight are rising from the spreading ink
of the horizon and

I couldn’t believe my ears
when I heard the singing
cut through the summer sky.

I hear you now
I hear you calling out

And I’m running to you now, I’m coming as fast as my body can take me—

With each stride—

With each blade of dried yellow grass that passes silently and softly
under my ignorant feet:

I see the rise and fall of the curve of the earth ahead of me with
the dust of human creation and
all the riches and splendors I was taught to seek out,
all the fallacies of ego and despair—

all far behind me.

I hear you singing and
I can barely contain my laughter,
it’s been so long since

I heard your song.

The air is on fire and the sky is blazing.
I’m coming, I’m coming


It won’t be long now.

1. That poem is lovely
It fits well with New Moon and the Twilight series, which I love of course!.
