old, wild heart
when waves rising
like wolves gnashing
and clawing
to get at your
simple peace
come
for surely they will come
I pray your strength
in petting those waves
oh wolf
your fluff
and snout
can be as kind
as a companion
oh wave
your break
and break
and break
do you get tired?
but heart,
when you accept
your adversary
as a friend
how the torrent turns
how the wolf tames
how the spirit calms
