"Haiku"

The wingless bird sits
At her window and looks out
At the sky above

The butterfly waits
Silently hidden within
Until heart is pure

The wolf howls again
Praying her dreams to the moon
Waiting for the day

The stars shine brightly
Upon the still lake at night
Twinkling in the dark

I wait here again
At the turning of the age
And wonder at love

Warm red is my heart
Blood running down my white flesh
Tears from my one soul
