Tragedy and Revival


Upon the Earth the wolf does run
     With Wise eyes, gentle gait, and thoughful counsel
     Silent paws yeild to the ground and forest mosses
In open skies the dragon soars
      With careful eye, mystic flight, and steadfast heart
     Wings, carrying good fortune and wonder, cut the air
These creatures share a common bond inflicted by Others
     Slaughter and deathly pilgrames caused by others
     Fear and Ignorance leading to tragically unacknowledged holocausts
What good can come from such distruction?
     They go on, somehow, and their spirits are all the stronger
     For others there past hold lessons to the human race
A message do they bring to the rich, the poor, the downtrodden
     Recognize the cause of the welts within you
     Have will enough not to do the same to others
Wisdom is earned through pain
      May empathy make friends with your spirit and to teach it to others
      Help to heal those who have felt pain and fight for justice
Remember wolf and dragon through your daily steps
    Creatures of bonded past that have learned hate and can rise above it.
    Know that with hope and finding respect even within yourself you can go on
