Power of the Wolf

by Tamara Smith

No man on earth can run with anticipation to travel and

hunt like you do,

no man can smell the breath of the rivers like you do,

we take what we want out of life for granted

but you live from day to day for survival in an open range

and for your future coming children.

You can see a man's pride shinning from a distance

as he turns away from the sun,

and despite all that a man can see during the day

doesn't compare with what you can see in the night,

and when a man thinks his pain has just begun

and is lost you're the one who has found it.

No man can touch the winter and know it for what

it's worth like you do,

and even though we sometimes hate what we don't understand

you still carry on through out all of the seasons of

the year.

In the Depth of the Heated Soul

by Lou Struckmann

The armadillo's shell is hard, and strong, like woman

she wishes she could be

Her underbelly protected, who will protect her from

the world that she sees

Together we can find the forces of the sparrows

peering glances

Sparrow aerial view of armadillo life long passage,

dances

Together we can be, take my shell for granted and

underbelly you'll never see

Snout smell precise, insects have no chance, dig deep

through the burrows and roots of the trees
