In Love With the Wild

My heart belongs to the wild.

My eyes make love to the shore.

As long as I can hear the waves,

I could not ask for more.

I fell in love with the sky.

I lost my heart to the trees,

and a small wolf pup

with a goofy grin

claimed the rest of me.

He awakened the wild in me.

I loved the wild in him.

He lives forever in my heart.

His memory will never dim.

The creatures of the earth,

its mountains, fields 

and streams,

feed my hungry soul

and wander nightly

through my dreams.

As long as there is sky,

as long as there are trees,

I need little more than a roof

and a bed -

the wild's enough

for me.
