Spirits Meet

Just off the busy Highway of Life, Reality,
The sun shines with a gentle warmth on my skin.
And the eyes of the solitary wolf
Sharpen with awareness.
He has come knowingly out of the dark wood
To welcome myself and only me.
I stepped over the dirty guard rail of life into the meadow
Where he has been waiting for me all day, alone.
He blinks wisely, he knows what must be shown.
The reason why I have come.
He nods encouragingly, to show he means no harm.
There is now company for him.
At home for the first time,
He nods once more to show he knows the way.
I would like to follow him into the dark wood,
For he has told me with his eyes,
What I am here for.
He is gray and white,
His eyes shine with the light of my own,
And a sudden peace beckons me to follow him
Into a wood as peaceful as sweet dreams in sleep.
Suddenly I realize
That I have stepped out of my body and have met
My spirit.
