howl

howl

do you know how

put your head back

take in a deep breath

and just ow ooooooowwwwwwww

from your gut

… your lungs

from where your soul sits

hear it sing its sadness and light

its joy and confusion

reverberate with the sound of yourself

it isn’t words

but feeling

and knowing

it is inside you

howl

i had a friend, a dog i loved

he taught me how to howl

and every once-in-a-while

he’d sit and i’d kneel

and we’d start to howl

we’d be free then

unbound

Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.
