Window Of My Mind

As I wake;
In the quiet night,
And gaze out from my window.
I breathe,
And think of what I’ll see.

I see me.
Running free;
Full moon hanging above my head.
Creating;
A newfound reality.

No longer tied by human cares;
I jump through the trees,
And wag my tail.
Only the sound of my paws are heard;
Thundering beneath me.

I gaze at the wolf that I know is me;
And I only wish I could be so free.
To run at night,
And howl my special song.

I long for all those feelings.
To run free,
And sing my song.
Tears slowly begin to form,
As I feel my entire life is wrong.

I stare at my hands and feet;
No paws to run through the night,
And I shake my head back to the window
As I can not bear the sight.

My wolf self is at the window;
Smiling widely there at me.
And I move closer to the pane,
Trying to understand my own reality.

We both meet at this moonlit gateway.
My eyes staring into his,
And his eyes staring into mine.
And I do not move;
Desperately trying to figure out
Which one is me.

And I open up the window
To allow him to be with me,
And as he jumps inside
I feel that we’re both finally free.

I place my head on his fur,
And he nuzzles at my side;
Both of us taking comfort
Knowing that neither has to hide.

The window of my mind now open;
He whispers there to me.
“We are not separate beings.
We are one reality.”
