Wolf
It has been said by wiser men
The People
A Forrest rife with towering trees
Eternal Hope
A mountainside - a mist hangs low
Legend
Many moons have come and gone
Voice Of the
Wolf
A circle formed by newfound friends
Awakening
Suddenly it is clear to me
After The
Sunrise
Beneath a waterfall
a very dear Brother
and
friend.
We hope you enjoy
them.

OUR
GUESTBOOK
That when the beasts are gone,
The lonliness that's left behind
Will do away with dawn.
Men fear thee Wolf
But I don't ask - I know.
It's not your fierceness felt by
them
But the beauty which you sow.
It grows within our hearts and
mind
to threaten those of us,
Who cannot seem to find the way
To love, and to be kind.
So if you go forever Wolf,
Please take me with you then.
I need to be with yours and you
and not these selfish men.

Ends close upon a shore
To watch and guard The people
Who have gathered here before
Words which traveled on the wind
They came from distant drums
To summon them together
This band of ancient ones.
Elders, Shaman, leaders all
With common goal in mind
To listen to the spirits
And know that they must find
A way to tell the nations
Of the dangers which we face
If all the Great One's creatures
Shall vanish from this place
And while they sit in silence
A vision fills the door
The wolf speaks to them clearly
Words too somber to ignore.
All living things upon this land
Forever more entwined
Depend upon their brother - Wolf
To change the state of mind
That earth belongs to us to use
And taint without a thought
To how it will sustain us
Though ruin we have wrought
The vision - Wolf then faded
As though it were never there
The ancient one's then chanted
A strain of great despair
Their teaching has transcended
time
And shown us of it's worth
That in the end all creatures know
That they belong to Earth
(c) Brother Wolf
'99
A ghostlike form appears
To move among the shadows
And as we watch, it nears
It moves like water in a stream
It glides with fluid grace
Watching, listening, reading signs
Which only it can place
A scent is brought on changing
winds
It reaches him with force
He knows that soon a life will end
But yet, feels no remorse
For in his world it has been
taught
For generations here
That while a life ends - one goes on
There is no need for tears
The weak, the frail sustain the
strong
So that all may survive
This credo from Great Spirits sent
Will keep the earth alive
Within this scene before us spread
There is no loss or waste
The wolf knows well this lesson
taught
He knows it must be faced
If water, land and creatures all
Endure and then remain
Life will go on and then be free
To build itself again
A never-ending cycle is
Portrayed upon this slope
Our totem and our brother
Offers us eternal hope
That if we pause and ponder now
Then we will surely know
That we must move together
And carefully choose which seeds we
sow
(c)Richard Buckingham (Brother Wolf '99)
The message is first read
Our Creator stood with upraised
hands
To tell what lies ahead
He then made earth and creatures
Speaking clear in voice and sign
To give each one his duty
To limit and define
What they must do forever more.
Insure that Mother earth
Will bloom with life and love - and
then
He said, "This is the
Birth"
On that day at Lake Chelan
The song of drum and flute
Joined with him as he declared
This is absolute
Now here a different time and place
Another wise man stands
His message - grace are both the
same
He talks with words and hands
Before him on this special day
Meet souls in fear and strength
And as his fathers before him did
In truth, he speaks at length
Telling all who hear him now
That they're the chosen ones
And they alone have knowledge
To be passed for endless suns
And then as silence fell
Upon each heart, each mind and soul
They stood, to go - to tell
That to this day things still remain
As then - at Lake Chelan
With honor on that birthing day
The legend first began
Bro Wolf '99
A voice to rise above
A message and a mission shown
Which demonstrates their love
They play - enjoy and labor
As their work has just begun
Though many and from distance great
They meet and now are one
They gather close to give support
To form a lasting bond
Which carries them from day to day
And into time beyond
In time of need - with candles lit
Their spirits, hand in hand
They offer their support
To every creature on this land
They seek to teach - to educate
Those who have not yet seen
They seek to pose a challenge
We ask, what does this mean
Voice of the Wolf now speaks to us
Their message to remain
Within our hearts and souls to form
A never ending chain
Dik Buckingham
A flash of light has shown
That I had not been seeing things
I surely should have known
How could I be so blind to this
And how could I ignore
The signs he laid before me
Like tracks left on a shore
The great bear is my father
As wolf, I am his son
The mother, swan - the daughter,
dove
We all live life as one
The eagle soars on high to scream
The words we need to hear
The words of how we came about
The words of love and fear
We live within the creatures
We live to serve the earth
These words from the Creator
He spoke them at the birth
How have we strayed so far from him
How can we now get back
How can we now apologize
For all that which we lack
To carry out his prophecy
And not to cower in fright
But take a stand right here - right
now
To finally do what's right

'99
At the edge of a wood
I stood and I listened
To hear what I could
Music builds to fill the air
In gentle soft refrain
I am calm, serene
I wait to regain
The feeling I've lost
Sights now not seen
Where have they gone
Where have I been
A short time ago
I stood at this place
I then heard the sounds
Felt warmth on my face
Touched by the breezes
Caressed by the sun
Hearing the loons cry
Life has begun
The spray of the water
Falls on my skin
I need to come in
Once again here
I know I'm at peace
The feelings return
Now to release
The sadness and worry
Which emptied my soul
They now hasten from me
I have become whole
I know why this happens
There is no surprise
Life always begins
After the sunrise
Bro Wolf '99
