Brother Wild

Out of the dark and winter night,
through the storms and pains of youth,
you came,
another mind,
within the skin,
of another kind.

Beyond your ‘person’ality
and intelligence,
was that command
for my respect.

Ye who strove for dominance over me.
Ah, but we did battle.
Our thunder shook the earth.
And then we laughed,
and together slept
upon the mountain side.

Old friend, fellow being,
looking out through animal eyes.
I bear your scars.  You bear mine.

Across the years that pass,
I heed your cry,
seeking other minds,
within the skins,
of other kinds.
