CALLING TO THE FAMILY

 

CALLING TO THE FAMILY

Way beyond the sky

And the mountains tops

Echoes of haunting sounds

The lonesome sound of a wolfs call to his family

Kith and kin way up in the mountains and beyond

The land below with an eerie mist that covers the slopes

Rising, rising up and up above the trees

Where kith and kin could be concealed

Avoiding the quagmire

Swamp, slush, sludge that lies below

The lonesome wolf

Stands by the ancient

Native of these lands

Campfire burning

Warming

Lighting

The night

Calling on his ancient instrument

To the spirits of this open land

Way beyond the mountains

Tree tops

This is not

And never was

A

No man’s land

This land is filled with

Secrets to be unfolded

Retold

To young and old

Wisdom of

The elders

Scattered near and far

Who once roamed?

 This

Ancient, ancient land

Let this be a moment

In this time

Hold what is

And what once was

A very spiritual land

Where all lived as one
