MEETING

--

Eagle screams

Spreads his wings

Angry, lonely, lost in the tide

Soaring on the wind

Showering disdain on the dust of the world

Always alone

-

Wolf howls

Hurt, frightened

She strikes at her enemies

But cannot flee

Crying for help, knowing none will come

Calling out

-

Eagle eyes

See battle below

Spreads his talons to fight

And dives

To defend the wolf as she defends him

Back to back

-

They pause

Both alone, both angry

Both desperately needing

Eyes meet

They move to touch, to melt

Into something new

-

Wings unfurl, fangs flash

Crying joy, they leap into the sky

Never alone
