Wild one...I Know You're Out There

Saturday, March 1, 2008 10:13:18 AM







Stepping onto the earth
feeling the moisture beneath my feet
I almost didn't remember this feeling.

Days in this abyss
seems like months
Sea legs, still..
ground very hot.

I hear a rustle in the wind
very near
Calling out to me
warning me.

Everywhere, crackling of leaves
taunting me.
Seductive, the anticipation
of your arrival.

Snickering and snarling
as you glance toward me
as you dance around me
You’ve once again
taught me well.

I hear a rustle in the wind
I know you're following me
I hear the sound of your body
falling to the ground
Seems a roar to me.

Onward as I near a clearing
not wanting
but needing to
I turn slowly
anxiously…
our eyes meet.
There you are, wild one
there you are
resting.

I hear a rustle in the wind
your're softly growling
impatiently panting
You want more
but wait
Be still
I’m right here
Still, sea legs
Still…momentum.

The warmth no longer burns my toes
my flesh no longer tender to the touch
my body free of screaming pain.

I see you still
slithering gracefully
as you watch me
patiently.

Would not want to anger you
have felt your wrath
Will quietly and gently
remove my scent that
carries a stench of fear
that you can see
that you can hear.

Stay and rest wild one
I will do the same…
Until we meet again.[/SIZE][/ALIGN]

Thank You, Scott. And, coming from a real artist. The wonderful thing about poetry that when reading one as this, there are so many interpretations, and as it should be.
Thanks for yours, friend!smile heart

It looks like we're both night owls, Amir. Though I've been really trying to go to bed before 4am but it's hard.
I love the night. The dark. The quiet. It's a different world and when we think everything is sleeping, but everythings, not! It's so much easier to see/hear with the lights out.

Anyway, just wanted to say Hi! Enjoy the peace and quiet!!sherlock bigeyes up
