Wild was the wolf

Wild was the wolf

But sadly those human who froze

Could never truly know

How closely the wild self lives to love

Its soul bathes in those vapours

That connects its being to the stars

And its body knows every single inch of earth

It roams

With an intimacy born

Of hunger and longing

Do not let them take the wild from you

Your eyes were born to gaze on stars

And when they fixed your gaze

On that sticking place

They almost stole your soul

Completely

Were we not born for this

To love the wild

To know it as ourselves

And never consent completely

To the severing of our soul

From nature?

Oh God do not let us forget

That somewhere deep inside

We were

All born to be

Wild creatures

Untamed and free
