The Best Poem Of Shane Linville

Whelped Into Darkness

Silk-soft tongue-caress
Cleanses life
A mother's Devotion
Her nurturing nipples
Gentle warmth and love
Leaping and spinning
Twisting bristle of fur
Learning strength and place
Pounce the field mouse
Stalk the rabbit
What is life and death?
Howl down the spirits
Luna, Sol, and Wolf
Sing the ageless song
Rally the pack
Pursue the deer
Feed the emptiness within
Growl and nip a brother
Scent sweet pulsing urine
Respectful gold gaze
The pack follows one Wolf
Beautiful and most skilled
Composed of rage and love
Run across frosty snow
Her scent thrills the heart
Touch drives the will
Warmth lies under her tail
Passion beckons
Love's deeply-sown seed
Whelped into darkness
Silk-soft tongue-caress
Cleansing new lives
Twisting, pouncing bristle of fur
Learning strength and place
Father's loving nuzzle
Grow and learn
Practice and improve
What is life and death?
Luna and Sol cross the sky
Seasons come and go
Fur turns gray
Beauty turns to dust
Eyes cloud with memories
Ears loose sight of sound
Seek the final quiet place
A spirit laid to rest
Dissolve into the night
Whelped into darkness
Silk-soft tongue-caress
Dream the world again.
