Howl of a Lamb

Howl of a Lamb

A Poem by Ricohard


I step into the tube, and I am hesitant to move under the flow.
But I step forward.
Today is a day full of decisions.
The water breaks over my head like anointing oil.
I must embrace my step.
The water presses hard on the steel on my chest, but smooths the leather lace.

I am not liked, we are not liked.
We blinded the world with our garment and we still do.
But I don�t.
I am smart and wise. I am calculated.
The Sheep have died out.
But whenever they are seen they are hated.
The Wolves have taken over, and they stand with their feet on the hill.
I must not forget that I am a Sheep.
But the Shepherd has made me to smart to be dumb.

I am a Sheep, but I clothe myself as a Wolf, and I hide the steel on my chest.
I move in and out in packs and speak as a Sheep in the harshness of a Wolf.
I move my way up the steep hill, that has Sheep and Wolf lain torn and ripped to shreds over it.
I get to the top and I howl like a lamb.

I am a Sheep, but I clothe myself as a Wolf, and I hide the steel on my chest.

Come in as a lion and roar out like a lamb.
Such truth in this. This is amazing as well.

I move in and out in packs and speak as a sheep in the harshness of a wolf

Well said line here, to move paces forward is to accept ourself as we are
and face are self as a whole. Well said here, You have a gift.
