Soft fur, warmth, comfort
Darkness, only smell to guide
I whimper, I cry, with hunger
Warm wetness, caressing my body
my mother, my comfort, cleaning me
I'm special she tells me
Hunger, crawling over my siblings
Seeking my place, seeking milk
I find my place and suckle
Comfort, warmth, sleep comes
So it goes, time passes
Slowly I grow stronger
Darkness fades, sight comes
I can see a hazy shape
Smell tells me it's my mother
Forms squirming, my siblings
I push and get pushed back
I bite and get bitten
The beginning of play, of bonding
We grow stronger the light beckons
The outside calls, things to see
Things to smell, freedom to run
We are shown to our father
We are shown to our pack
Three Paw will guide us
Watch and protect us
We chase all that moves
Stalk each other and learn
Young hunters we are
Proud of our kills
We parade with our prizes
Caterpillers, feathers, pieces of moss
We get less milk and feed on flesh
The taste in our mouths urging us
Pushing us to learn to hunt
Become the predators we are meant
Always told I'm special, I strive
Strive to be faster, stronger
Now play becomes lessons
We learn to hunt, to kill
Winter comes, white death
We must hunt, kill, or die
We become hunters, killers
My name is a proud one
I am named for my people
I am named for great things
I am special to the people
I am named Gray Wolf

Journey Yet Begun

I awake in the night to muffled voices
Perhaps it is Trickster trying to cajole me into trouble
I listen intently
Following the voices
There beneath Mothers head
The sacred bundle
It speaks to me and I speak to it
Babbling on as a toddler does
Curling beside mothers head and the sacred bundle I continue to chatter
on
Waking mother with my song
"What is it girl
Why are you not asleep?"
I continue to chatter and sing with the sacred bundle
I listen as it tells me stories and sings of the old ways
Mother watching me closely now
Staring with disbelief
I laugh out loud and point to the bundle
Mother simply nods her head
Pulling me close She starts to sing
A gentle song of sleep and dreams
I nod off lulled into my dreams
By mother and the bundles songs
In my dreams I see the wolf cub
Playing and running
Learning to hunt
When the sun rises in the east
Mother wakes me with a whisper
"Come girl,we must greet the day
Then I will take you to Shaman
Come now lets be on our way"
I take Mother's hand following her lead
Greeting Shá(sun) as we make our way
She picks me up hurrying along
As she sings her morning song
Coming to Shaman's hogan
She calls out to him
Setting me down telling me to play
She goes in and has a whispered talk
Shaman calls to me
"Girl, come to see this old man
Come now, take my hand
Tell me now of your night"
I chatter endlessly on of how I thought Trickster had come
And how I followed the voices to mother's bed
I even sang to him some of the songs
Telling him of how the bundle spoke to me
And the dreams that I had
He seemed so glad
He sang a song of praise to the bundle
He sent mother away
I cried at first unsure of why she left me
Shaman picked me up
Carrying me inside his hogan
And began the story of the first people
From where they came
To where we are now
Telling me of times forgotten
And times to come
How my journey has yet begun.....
