Wolves

Two Wolves

There are two

wolves

One wolf stands

and growls

One wolf stalks

unseen.

Each wolf does

its part

Both working

together

Though appearing

apart

Long Day

It's been a long day. It

seems like every day is

a long one now. My eyes

are tired and sore, my head

is heavy. I know that I

used to be able to stay

up all night.

Was a time that I could stay

up for days at a time. I had

stamina to spare. I'd study,

work out, drink, fight, make

love all night, and keep going

when the sun came up.

Now, once the children are

in bed and quieting down.

The dog is laying at my feet.

My head is heavy after the day.

You are here beside me on

the couch.

Grey now streaks my hair. Still,

nothing can replace the tenderness

and love that we share. The years

that you have always been there.

I love you.
