Forest runs through damp shaded earth, Huntington Beach State Park, South Carolina.

Praying for patience, compassion, strength and forgiveness…mine and mine yet to be given. Dragonflies the greenest forest shades, lighting wisdom on the tip of my tongue. Blue dragons like waterfall iridescence of a nether realm wonder.

Am I listening?

Wolves settle at my side. A friend in white and my own shaggy, auburn reflection. A gentle lope, then strong, able wings whisper to my right. Black and red flutters while winter whites and autumn oaken colors envelope me and ignite. The wolf meets the blackbird and never have I known such a flight. Feet/paws rake the gentle earth. Airborne strokes- rocketing through this life on disobedient winds and willful tides, laying path upon path before me. Until we meet again.
