There's a Traveling Wolf I Know

This wolf stands on my porch
passing me letters,
and pictures of amazing travels
through the crack of my door.

Having faith in my color changing eyes,
having hope in my heavy heart,
claiming beauty to a face he still has yet to gaze.
He sees through the caked mud
my soul has been clumsily thrown into.

He sees things, that others' glances can't penetrate.
He scents need in the good cheer breezes
his magical hands push in the direction of the masked.

He finds a pull
in an old magnet that's both the core and the cover of my life.
He paints beautiful scenes and sighs with his voice,
with his words.
He creates wolds I wish we could dive into together
and not have to spend half the time taking trips back to the entrance to gulp sloppily at air.
No, we'd definitely need gills.

There's a wolf at my door,
quite a special one,
that one day I would like to invite him inside
for some coffee,
a warm blanket,
and a future he won't regret-
but fall madly in love with.
No matter where my place falls.

You had me from that first stanza! What an image!


"He sees through the caked mud
my soul has been clumsily thrown into." this is incredible

"He finds a pull
in an old magnet that's both the core and the cover of my life."

Just a few of the lines that shouted at me from the lines of a poem I felt as well as saw. My memories are reeling.

My pleasure!

This is a great poem! I love how vivid and emotional it is. Though it would be easier to understand it if you let us know in the poem if you're a narrating as another wolf or as yourself. Still, terrific work!!

You know... I'm quite certain that this wolf is howling in joy while gazing upon such heartfelt and hope filled words. :) This is an amazing gift to the wolf that you're speaking of. ;)

I'd hoped it would. =)

i love your optimism in the last stanza and feel totally your message here...
such a tender photograph of the desires in life...unfulfilled but ready to touch
the boundaries of contentment. what a great write!
