Wolf

My love is fierce
For I am the Wolf in the wild hills waiting
I sing my love to the full moon
The shorn sheep bleat their fear in the meadow
The horned goats leap high upon the crags
Pallid moonlight from my white fangs gleaming
Warns the World of my Will and Wyrd
And my love grows deeper in the limitless well
As I weave in the ways of my long dead kin
But the sheep and the goats see only my fangs
For wolves are few and their ways wild
And the sheep and goats will never know
The ineffable bliss of freedom from fear
And the genuine joy of fierce love.

I like the imagery of the wolf and sheep. The comparison of the Self (the enlightened) who is/experiences fierce, unlimited love in relation to the ego's 'below' who live in fear and are unable to understand it.

Loved/related to:

For wolves are few and their ways wild
And the sheep and goats will never know
The ineffable bliss of freedom from fear
And the genuine joy of fierce love.

Capitalizing certain words was also a nice addition.

wonderful imagery. I liked the wolf's point of view. I liked the style of this poem, the theme is concrete throughout- doesn't stray from the message. Thanks for sharing.

I like the way you carry through with the theme. Very vivid and compelling.

Very good. For some reason I want this one to ryhme. It just seems to have a ryhming personality. I like the imagery/concept.

I enjoyed reading your piece. Your way with words was great. I felt as though I was the wolf itself.
