Mirror

Staring up the hill, across
a curved expanse of sodden earth,
the Wolf draws forward, fearing loss
of scent before the Moon’s full birth.

Brother Sun eviscerates each
nuance, casts aside all shade,
and swallows hungrily the dust
decaying down from lives well made.

As sharp as steel and steady
as a hummingbird in Summer’s flight,
the Wolf flies forth, now having caught
a glimpse of prey distinct and bright.

Straight and sure a trail of Hope
cuts through the evergreen, set down
by Warriors who sojourned far
in search of Truth, but not renown.

Beyond a rocky, windswept rise,
Wolf suddenly beholds the Lake,
whose sacred waters beckon those
with strength to stir their Dreams awake.

Yet when she races down, she
learns the Wisdom others had before:
here now begins the journey on
to Pluto’s dear transforming shore.

Within the silent northern
forest, far from battles, free of harms:
a liquid gateway offers all
safe passage into Starlight’s arms.
