#ASMSG THE FINAL FRONTIER?


THE FINAL FRONTIER
Is this end of their battles?
Or the beginning
Here they both stand and look
The man wondering, pondering
Was it all worth it?
Can this be the end?
This precipice below
Dark, dark
Their road and path that has been walked upon
Fought upon
Struggled upon
Battled upon
The attacks
The confrontations, the challenges
The opposition opposing
Never letting his guard down
Ready and waiting
The rook on his shoulder
Eyeing the territory before them
His eyes honed toned
To perfection
The warrior’s eyes
Constantly on the lookout
The white wolf
The warriors constant
Guardian
Loyal
True
Looking down into the precipice
Where his master
His alpha male
Won so many arduous battles
But here is still standing
Strong and firm
Solid
With his reinforcements in the background
Ready and waiting
Man and beast together as one

#ASMSG BATTLE TO BE WON OR LOST


BATTLES TO BE WON
OR LOST
So many battles right on this land
This cold, cold terrain
Jagged mountains
Ragged
Tattered
And torn
Rough
Crude
Raw
Icy cold winds
Howling around every crevice
Every corner
Shaft
Cranny
Harshest of conditions
For any man or beast
But here at least
Man and beast
Come together
In their own causes
The Raven
His magical, mystical senses
Sensing there is an auspicious time ahead
Not to be afraid to move forward
Move with power and strength
Yet know when to stop and take stock
Of all the limitations ahead
Think before taking another stop
WOLF
His eyes staring
Glaring
What is before them!!!
Ears honed
Tuned
Sharpened
Listening
Pointed to their limits
His eyes
Eyeing the way ahead
The hazards
The dangers
The threats
His master is facing
He will not let his master
Fall prey to the enemy
He will guard
He will protect
He will stand his ground
Stand firm
Stand solid
Right by his masters side
Shielding
Be his shield
In the face of the foe
His destiny
His fate
Come what may
He is his master’s friend
 Companion
Confidante
To their days ends

#ASMSG ON A MISSION


ON A MISSION
A mission that needs movement
A mission to be fought with might
A fight to the end
Warriors bend
Every corner taken
Every corner travelling
Every corner never knowing
If the truth unbends
If the lies are well hidden
In the slippery bends
They must travel this road with its bends
Fighting the cause to the ends
Warriors
Fighters
Guardians
Fighting against the darkness
The gloom
And doom
They must travel
Near and far
Never wondering
Never questioning
Never pondering
Just go into the fight
With might
Power
With all the forces
Valor
Weapons at the ready
Warding of the predators
From the darkness
Chasing them to the end
Out into the light
This they can depend
The raven
Bringing enlightenment
Truth and justice
The wolf
The warrior’s guardian
Protector
Ears pricked and pointed backwards
A warning
Snarling his teeth
As a warning
Come any closer to my prince
Of the light
I will defend
He can depend
So they travel around the bends
Ever alert
Watchful
Prepared
At the ready

#ASMSG PAWS FOR THOUGHT



PAWS FOR THOUGHT
Take this moment in time
To pause for a thought
On the image just below
Of man and wolf
Paw in a man’s hand
Together as one
Gentle and soft
Does this look like man’s worst enemy?
Or just the thought that has been put there
By his enemies
Does this look like man’s best friend?
As intended to be, his faithful
Companion and destiny
And part of life’s family
This is the connection for the wolf
And man
Forever bonding with their spirit
I for one
Will be this one’s
And everyone’s best friend
Just my thoughts

#ASMSG A LOVERS QUEST


A LOVERS QUEST

Just like
Romeo and Juliet’s
Two wolf packs
Very much alike
With dignity and pride
But keeping themselves far and wide
But these two lovers met
And never wanted to depart

The lover’s quest
Began in a land so far and wide
One family on one side
And the other family
On the border
Both looking and growling
On opposites side of the line
Calling the pair back to the pack
Where they reside

The lover’s quest
Broke free
From both their families
Running wild and free
Away from the pain and misery
They travelled the lands
Far and wide
Their quest to find their own
Happiness
Through trials
And their own tribulations

The lover’s Quest
The pair found their own den
Happy as can be
Away from all that was
And their own families

This quest
For our Romeo and Juliet
Is at its best
Their nest was built
More solidly than their own before
Happier, gladly
This quest has led them both
With their own wolf cubs
From heavens store
What more could they have ever asked for?

Our Romeo and Juliet
Rest now in heavens clouds
Happy
Carefree
Just how it should be
Below they see their one and only child
With a love so pure and simple
By his side

#ASMSG WHEREVER YOU GO I FOLLOW



WHEREVER YOU GO I FOLLOW
Travelling this dusty trail so far from home
The journey long and hard
At times so harsh and baron
The winters so cold it touches your soul
Let alone you fingers and face
But here I spied a wolf pack
Frightened and scared
Who was the wariest of them all?
With just a pack horse and belongings
I kept to my trail, a trail that I must follow
A trail of faith, hope with no charity
This trail is lonesome
Fraught with dangers, perils,
But you are all following me!
This frightens me, but not completely
Maybe a fear of the unknown, the not knowing you
As you maybe fearing I yet not frightened to follow me
This trail may not be so lonesome
Why by my side?
For they fear not!
I now fear not so much
They take the lead of my pack horse, why does he show no fear?
He would have bolted by now from strangers and creatures of the wild terrain
This is so strange so not right they take the lead, they show the way
All five wolves not a growling, baying not sign of attack
It looks like we are on the right track
I feel no fear, just a calming sensation that this is right
Misconceptions once again with these beauties of the wild
They are just like us; they walk with family keep together
Through thick and thin, protectors, guardians
Now who is following who?
Now who is getting the picture of this not so lonesome trail?
It I now following and happy to be

#ASMSG YOU AND I AS ONE


YOU AND I AS ONE

You are the wolf
I am the huntress
You’re baying at the moons full light
Filling my mind and soul
With ecstasy
So powerful, such ferocity 

You’re the leader of the pack
The alpha with the silver back
You’re strength and beauty
And with your sense of duty

The moon shines bright
On this dark, dark night
The haunting sounds 
Crying out loud
Oh so much music that 
Sounds so right

Oh baying wolf 
In this wild, wild wilderness
You have me in wild, wild 
Sweet blissfulness
Never, ever do I want to miss
Such wonder, beauty, 
And your tenderness

#ASMSG THE DEVILS CLAW


THE DEVILS CLAW
Is this the hand of future fate?
 Or are you just the devils claw?
And nothing more
You are nothing but the
Darker side of me
That makes me cold
And raw

This time I am fighting back
This claw is my mistake
Taking back that once was mine
Life of so divine
Not yours
Devils claw

You can scream and shout
Right out loud
But I have the claws
Right here and now
The one to defend
And amend
Until the sweetest end

This shield of old
Stories untold
Battles won and
Battles lost
I am ready once again
To throw it right at you

I see my light
Shining bright
Blinding with truth
I’m putting up the fight
With all my might
My destiny
And fate
