“TheWolfStaringThrough”

Swallowed.
Like a leaf sucked inside the whirling winds of a tornado,
I've been captured.

The peace inside spread its wings like a great Griffin,
and I feel so honored, so blessed
to receive this eyeful of imagination.

The cyan and turquoise swirling
reminds me of Orion's Belt,
of the green and amber rings
set in the center;
Perfect in their placement as they are the center of my focus.

I can see the animal inside of you
the fluffy, playful, stunningly beautiful,
often cynical wolf – staring through.

Yes.

Your eyes bring me somewhere else,
a place that only the two of us go.

A mess of tangled limbs and jumbled sentences,
secret smiles and knowing laughs.

Of misplaced paths that connect and swirl away again.

This is how we are supposed to be.
