Wild Thing



Wild Thing,
you came to me
when I was lost
in a forest of pain.
You woke me to
a wilderness of soul,
peopled with wild creatures
who spoke with their hearts,
not their voices,
their compassionate eyes,
not their words.
You healed me enough
that I could bear your leaving -
but only just.

Once awakened,
one cannot 
go back to sleep.
Once one's heart is full 
of the wilderness,
one is never alone.
