Water Wolves

 I let the sun shine 

down on me today

And felt my skin get 

some warmth like

I’ve been kept inside

and put away

Everything is temporary

That’s what I hear them say

I watched the moon 

disappear into an ocean of stars

Dreaming of what it’d be like

To runaway and to travel far

I let myself forget about 

the past times and even

sometimes reality

Becoming stronger,

empowered by vitality 

I found a place where

the waves taught me

how to let go and 

how to breathe

I can sense the goddess 

of the sun, moon, and sea

And a place where the

wolves stay loyal in 

their own pack

How to return to 

them safely, 

and how to trust them 

with all you have

Follow the sun

that’s shining on the 

waves as they crash

Then you know,

you went the way

with your wolves,

Taking the 

right path
