these are my two wolves
she is ever-present, sometimes in the shadows
her strength is unwavering
committed to sustenance
committed to providing for her pack, her inner circle
the gaze she offers is not cold, but it’s piercing
she seeks to understand, dive deeper, to grow close
this one knows her worth, she does not need to be reminded of her journey
it’s been a challenging road, sometimes she had help, sometimes she was alone
but she leaves no one behind
she is stronger than ever, hungry for living
she is here to learn, lessons are only provided if they are asked for
all the while, never shying from sharing her truth and her journey
he is ever-present, with his own gravity that pulls and calls
he has power and wants more, he is strong but needs to continually prove his strength
committed to progress
committed to honing his awareness, his perception, his skillset
the gaze he offers is critical, self-judging, a slave to perfection
this one is never enough, cannot be enough
swallowing even the accomplishments of today and regurgitating greater aspirations
he’s been on his own, left alone, left behind-
he must prove himself to the world, every day, the cycle makes him weary
steals joy from the present, sows apathy where there was empathy
why give trust when it can be broken? i can only trust myself
and sometimes at the quiet of late night, he admits that he has even broken trust
with his own being
he devours contentment-fueled by the seductive idea of what could be
he has achieved so much, why rest? why be content when there is more?
