Voice of the Wolf
“Our lives are richer when we listen to what wolves have to teach us.” Jim and Jamie Dutcher
She approached the old woman slowly,
head down in a gesture of peace.
We are all wolves howling to the same moon,
she said.
the old woman put down her paper.
she pondered what the wolf said.
We are all wolves howling to the same moon,
the wolf said again.
This time,
the old woman rose from the bench
and followed as the wolf led her to the woods
and to the full moon.

Oh this is absolutely wonderful Toni! A new favorite for me of yours. Love the message this holds. Lovely!

thank you Carrie. I loved the picture. It really spoke to me. I love the wolves and the wild things.

This gave me chills, the good kind.

Heaven help me I missed the good message here and the first thought in my mind was “there’s goes another little old lady led down the garden path”! Pray for me!
Feb 22, 2020 @ 19:52:47
Yes Sister. I will most assuredly pray for you.

This is so lovely. We ARE all wolves howling to the same moon. I would follow her too. I will, one day.
Feb 22, 2020 @ 18:20:18
Yes, follow the wolf and let the moon hear your howls.
Feb 22, 2020 @ 18:20:50
I found the refrain intriguing enough to follow the wolf as well. Lovely poem.

Great words,chilling by one interpretation, beautiful by another. Clever. By the way, ‘follow’ is an anagram of ‘lo wolf’
Feb 23, 2020 @ 11:18:50
Yeppers. I am aware of the anagram. You are one of the few to pick up on that. I often embed an anagram or classic haiku in my poems. You just have to search for them

I love this, Toni. One of my absolute faves. I want to follow, too.
Feb 23, 2020 @ 08:25:11
“We are all wolves howling to the same moon,” — yes!
Feb 23, 2020 @ 10:55:14
A good howl never hurts anyone!

Beautiful! 💝 I like the idea of howling to the same moon 😀
Feb 23, 2020 @ 14:17:31
I have to agree. A new favourite. ❤️
And I’ll howl at the moon with you!
Feb 23, 2020 @ 18:13:20
Aroooooo. I am known to howl at the moon. A dear friend of mine who died 3 years ago, became my friend when I wrote about howling at the moon. I miss her.

Oh, how I love this version of what is happening! Yes, to be an old woman alone can – surprisingly – make for a new kind of freedom.
Feb 23, 2020 @ 16:01:58
Yes it can!
Feb 23, 2020 @ 19:17:56
Awesome!

In rather like the messages poets send with contributions this way hoping that humans will wake up and be part of the natural world again rather than a greedy thief and usurper that cares not about our fellow creatures in Earth
Feb 24, 2020 @ 14:06:49
I can see them howling together, remembering that we will never be alone (if we look and see the world).
Feb 24, 2020 @ 14:18:48
Lord only knows I howl at the moon. But I feel so alone now.

All wolves howling at the same moon. I love that image and idea. How alike we are women and wolves, both wild things under the gaze of the brilliant moon.
Feb 24, 2020 @ 15:23:18
Yes! This is just right!
Feb 24, 2020 @ 17:52:53
I love this–every bit of the image and story. It reminded me of an old Tanith Lee story in “Red as Blood,” where the mother ran with the wolves and her little girl had to learn how to join her.
