Sister Cat
I carried wolf spirits
deep within me
for many years.
They taught me
the savage knowledge
of defending the pack.
They are always with me.
But, Sister, you came
so softly
a feral shadow in the night
rubbing against the
sharp edges of my life.
You were here before I knew it.
Wild and savage
with a depth of spirit
and fullness of heart
I stood in awe
of your power
and was humbled by your trust.
You were Pi’s Tiger
in my shipwrecked soul
when I was cast adrift
giving me
the lesson of patience
with only a small loss of blood.
You are my greatest teacher.
