Sometimes I wax poetic. I know it is a flaw of mine, but it's been with me since childhood.
Ode to my Demon Elvis
From the winds you came to me
Heart of the wild, soul of the free
The pain in your eyes no mystery
The person you loved left you in misery
With hopeful regard you came to my home
Trusted as I gave you a place to roam
Without a word you became my best friend
My staunch supporter until the very end
Your only wish was to see me smile
And to run mile after mile
Grateful for the food in your bowl
Your gentle love made me whole
Spirit of the wolf, singing to me
Speaking of our bond beyond eternity
You connect deeply with my inner child
And I join you in your call of the wild
Our howls lift gently with the wind
Timeless, ageless; without end
Ancestors hear our hallowed call
Around the fires of late fall
They join in our song of ages
Through history’s uncharted pages
A song before records began
When the first wolf came to the camp of man
From the winds you came to me
Heart of the wild, soul of the free
The pain in your eyes no mystery
The person you loved left you in misery
With hopeful regard you came to my home
Trusted as I gave you a place to roam
Without a word you became my best friend
My staunch supporter until the very end
Your only wish was to see me smile
And to run mile after mile
Grateful for the food in your bowl
Your gentle love made me whole
Spirit of the wolf, singing to me
Speaking of our bond beyond eternity
You connect deeply with my inner child
And I join you in your call of the wild
Our howls lift gently with the wind
Timeless, ageless; without end
Ancestors hear our hallowed call
Around the fires of late fall
They join in our song of ages
Through history’s uncharted pages
A song before records began
When the first wolf came to the camp of man
