Eve of the Full Wolf Moon

On the eve of the full wolf moon
I started a fire.
A fire to burn away the old,
clearing the way for the new.

Releasing pain, abuse, trauma,
and betrayal.
Making room for love, healing, beauty,
honesty, and compassion.

Now we start anew.
A combination of forces
for the collective good.

We will find a way to be both
     city mice and
     country mice.

On the eve of the full wolf moon,
I put a mark on a life;
I started a fire.
A fire to set things right.
