In Native American Legend


In Native American Legend
The children of the earth were the animals.
And the child known as Big Mouth,
howled in the forest
and sent spirit messages
to a world beyond.
Today we understand the science of wolves,
but to many their soul has been lost.
A once cunning hunter has become prey to humans.
A magnificent and revered creature,
is now for many considered as vermin.
And what was once a voice to the spirit world,
Now seems a mournful farewell to the world,
from which wolves have been cast.
Graham Greene
