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..... |
