My Brother the Wolf*
My brother the wolf
sings his music under clear stars
a chant I recognize but cannot name
haunts me
My brother the wolf
hears the fear and longing
in our hearts
sees confusion at a glance
My brother the wolf,
no prodigal child,
will not be tamed,
clings with ferocity to ways wild
My brother the wolf
lies quietly at a distance
waiting patiently for me to acknowledge
our ancient ties
Sweet Planet Poems 
that’s nice to hear
oh I loved the video.
i dont know why but the homemade ones captivate me more than the professional ones.
it is a wonderful thing to share!
Thank you so much, Bluebee. There is something intense there – a wonder and curiosity that’s shared between the species, a hint of prior knowledge, as you say. Memory imprinted in the DNA – I think so, too.
Dear Laz, Such a lovely comment. They do feel sacred. Blessings to you.
Hello Wath and thank you! There is lots more video, but no one will nominate me for any videography awards. Still, it gives a sense of what it was like.
Interesting, Sandy – I didn’t know wolves were in Oklahoma that recently. Perhaps one day again. Love your new blog!
Vielen Dank, Gislinde, und Grüße sowie an dich
Dear Pen, Thank you so much for your kind comments! There’s more video to come – although you will have to bear with me on the quality. At least there’s a wolf on it!
“a chant I recognize but cannot name” – isn’t it funny that this is so – as if it’s in the DNA. Such a haunting sound, the cry of the wolf, like the sounds of the whale, and how wonderful to hear it in the wild, Monica. Beautiful poem.
Beautiful Poem!, Beautiful Animals!, Sacred ones,
Peirce’s my heart, Monica
Peace to you,
Laz
I really love the picture at the water.
cant wait for part 2!
I had forgotten the words to that song. Thanks for bringing them back to me.
Have you been back to the Park?
The last time I saw a wolf in the wild was on my parents farm in Oklahoma, years ago.

Just sitting here Monica, playing the video, absorbing the atmospheric scenery and staring in wonder as I look at our brother The Wolf, … such descriptive words too, saying it all and in my mind I can hear the haunting howl of the wolf in response. I look forward to part two, my friend. and many, many thanks for sharing your amazing experience… xPenx
