The Wolf and the Shark

One day the wolf said to the shark,
fellow hunter, take my heart.
Eat it raw for all I care,
it is empty, sad, and bare.

To me it is a useless thing
that only brings me suffering.
Chomp it down and chew it up,
on my heart I bid thee sup.

And so the shark with pearly teeth,
from the Caribbean reef,
did just what the wolf did ask,
made of it a short repast.

Give me more the shark did cry,
why, its taste was so divine!
But the wolf had nothing left,
and crawled off, of his heart bereft.

In the forest of great trees,
he lied down to find release.
Felt no fear or suffering
as he heard the angels sing.

Then the great spirit did ask,
where is your heart, answer me fast!
Great one, I gave it away,
I do not have it here today.

Go and find it, then come back,
with no heart entrance you lack.
And so the wolf went to the sea,
but the shark was absentee.

So he wandered to and fro,
through deserts both sand and snow,
sniffing snuffing at the breeze,
running rapid though the trees,
searching through air land and sea,
but his heart, he could not see.

Eternal Trap

Trapped! I'm trapped body and soul

With nowhere to go!

I just need to run away

But I swear there's no escape.

Fly like eagle to the moon,

Sounding off the warbling loon,

Begging God for just one boon

Before my death may come too soon.

Body aches and stomach sore,

Everything becomes a bore,

I can't take it anymore!

Let me go! Set me free!

Let me grow and let me be,

Shackled to my destiny.

Lift the fog from twixt my eyes,

Free me from the evil lies,

I think I am almost fried.

Brain sliced up and then freeze-dried.

Odd Communion

It is hard to focus.

I delve so far into my own mind it is like I see through different eyes.

I am called, pulled somewhere.

Where does my heart lead me and can she hear me?

I scream like a beacon across the very universe.

When will she hear me and heed my call?

Is the wolf just in rut? Does my lusty soul scream for release?

Think less, clear the mind of all thought save that needed to function.

Close the raging chakras, think with the universal soul.

Banish negativity from your mind, let it flow out of you, over you.

Let it flow around but not through.

Orca, porpoise, and shark called me to the Ocean Sunday.

I communed with them silently as they played with my wolf.

Each of us, little G-d's trapped in earthly vessels.

The carnivore council meats, predators unite, the warrior caste gathers together for war.

Shaman Dreams

My feet tingle with energy,

Harmony spreading up through the earth,

A confusing cosmic high.

I am my own drug.

Battle rages inside and out

And a serpent gnaws on my toes.

Eyes open even when closed.

All too much, must fly,

Swim, gallop, jump, and crawl.

I am mosquito, born bearer

Of water, it is magic.

The world is dying,

And we are her immune system.
