Some old poetry of mine.

Some old poetry I wrote for one of my Sentinel Stories years ago. I apologize ahead of time. haha.

Thundering Wolf

The Storm brings wind and rain.
The thunder comes before the lightning.
The wolf stands in the clearing.
He looks up and sees the lightning getting closer.
He doesn’t move from his spot.
It’s his destiny.
He waits for the power to fill him.

Tall Tree

There was a tall tree in the forest.
It stood all alone.
During a thunderstorm, lightning struck.
This tree was split halfway from the ground up.
A wolf stared at it, thinking it was a man.
When the lightning flashed again, the tree began to move.
The wolf was not afraid.
The heart of the wolf was filled with thunder.
Just as the tall tree became a man;
The lightning gave this man power.
The wolf was sent to guide him.
The Tree and the Wolf walked off together.
The man, who had been a tree, was lost.
He had to go back to the forest.
Without his guide, he couldn’t live as a man.
The storm had not saved his wolf.
He knew he would be lonely again.
Standing there, he waited for the storm to take him back.
But the storm passed him by.
He caught sight of the wolf and started running after him.
Tall Tree was very confused as he ran towards the sun.
The Man who used to be a tree ran into the sunshine.
Looking up, he asked the great Sun God why his wolf was taken from him.
The Sun God told him that things weren’t always as they seemed.
Then he asked the man if he wanted to be a tree forever.
The Man said he didn’t know what to do without his guide.
The Sun God told him to look harder and find his wolf.
Again, the Man was confused, but started looking for him.
An Eagle flew by and told him to see with his heart, not his eyes.
The man opened his heart and let some of the pain out.
Another Eagle flew by and told him to listen for his guide's love.
The Man heard his love, his life, and his guide, and wept.
He knew he never wanted to be a tree again.
The Man opened his eyes and saw his mate, love, guide, and wolf.
The Sun God and the Eagle were both right.

Looking

I was looking for Family
I found him.
I was looking for love.
I found it.
I was looking for a home.
I found two.
I was looking for a friend.
I found a tribe.
I was looking for a new job.
I found one.
I was looking for the other half of my Soul.
I found him.
I was looking for people to trust.
They found me.
I was looking for a new life.
I’m living it.
