The Song that passes On

            The wolf’s howl that sounds through the night is heard and reacted in many different ways

            Some freeze

 

            Others listen

 

            Many dwell in fear

 

            But some others listen to their brother’s song

 

            For it is they who will pass on his song when he is finished

 

            He sings of love

 

            He sings of hatred

 

            He sings of sorrow

 

            He sings for the freedom of his people

 

            He sings for peace in the world

 

            He sings for the survival of his people

 

            As his song echoes into the distance

            He perks his ears for a moment

            Then all around him his song echoes all around

            And is carried up and up into the air

            And beyond the distant hills
