SURVIVAL

I wander alone through the moon light, searching.
The quiet stillness and the cover of dark, gives the hunter an advantage, morning will come soon.
My stomach growls softly, I am hungry. In my den, six pups wait, they are hungry too.
Will this hunger last another day, or will I be successful in my quest.
I must ignore this hunger and continue to hunt.
Suddenly, through the cool night air, I smell the faint odour of a Deer.
The stars sparkle through the birch tops, as I crouch lowly and follow this beautiful scent.
I pause at the crest of the hill and there in the shadow of the spruce, something moves.
Mother Nature has given me a wonderful gift tonight, the Doe has two Fawns. Only one will carry on the gene.
We will sleep with full bellies this morning.

Wolves

The moon as risen
It calls us out
It is time to leave our homes
We walk through the trees
In search for food for our families
Off in the distance I see our prey
I call upon my pack with a howl
We work together to get our bellies full
Then we bring some home for our pups
Once we have filled our bellies, so full
We take a walk
Protecting one another as a happy close knit family
Keeping in touch with a howl
Then the moon sets
Back in our homes we go
Until the rising of the moon calls us out once again to play

Autumn Moon

Rabbit that roams in the autumn night.

Then the autumn moon has come to let the rabbit feel free.

Come The Night by Ronald R

I wait these days for night to come
It’s night that makes me feel as one
One of the chosen for this to see
A crimson sky, a golden sea
Sky with clouds puffy and gray
Fire burns their edges away
A fireball in the sky
An ocean gold to let it die
The fireball is now all done
I watch and wait for the night sun
The sun’s warmth slowly fades away
The night is cool this ends the day
The night sun, to me brings rest
This quiet time to me is best
The frogs and crickets now I hear
Wonderful sounds for a city ear
A log on the fire, some cool night air
I grab a moment; pull up a chair
Watching the flames dance in the night
A small red spark floats out of sight
The fire’s glow has gotten low
To the tent I should go
Sleep me now all through the night
Wake me with the morning light

Rain In Me

I woke this morning to a rainy day
The sun was hot but it rained anyway
The clouds were thick the sky was black
My heart it had a big old crack
I tried so hard to make her stay
My love it seems pushed her away
Gave her the moon and a star
She gave me a horrid scar
The sky today is blue blue blue
And my heart is so blue too
We see not what we need to
We kid ourselves, we all do
From these words please take this
You will not live, if you only wish
To keep what you have you must do
Be open and honest and mostly true
Show your love every day
Keep the peace every way
Remember just why you love that one
Tell them there loved and the only one
