This is My Land

Sound carries aloft into the night

distinctive as Aurora Borealis

rising in crescendo from stage to stage

a stairway to the stars as moments --

loud at first --- piercing

then soft as a Meadow Lark

parting tendrils of mist in morning light

this joyous voice

heard by all within the pack --

a call to the land he loves.

Aurora Borealis?
