A night of tumultuous skies over the distant sea gave way to a foggy, cold winter's morning.
Through all the dreary grey left behind, dawn’s eventual first light managed to trickle in. Uninterrupted, the waves swelled along the rocky shoreline with the frigid new day. As the ebb current receded, it revealed something more–a bedraggled little wolf was deposited onto the pebbled edge, unceremoniously left behind by even the unforgiving sea. Motionless, utterly soaked through.
There, beneath some foreign mountain at the edge of this bay, consciousness drifted at large, swirling–mixing, past with present, future and beyond. Darkness giving way to light, night swallowing the daytime. Sunrises, sunsets alike. Great heights, and dizzying falls. Open skies, alpine ridges, dark tunnels into the earth, then beneath the shades of dense trees. Where one life ended, another began hazing together, love and loss in equal intensities, lines blurred, but drawn in startling blood all the same.
Here, somehow, presented a new intersection of all these histories.. warranted, or not. This was not to be an end. Anything but.
Lost, ultimately, it steadily began to pinprick back to these sodden, hallowed confines, here–alone.
Alone.
Any true awareness only came as a slow seep. Everything was groggy, heavy, and terribly cold. A small wet cough shook the wolf’s sides with too much effort. Gradually, there in the damp sands and stones where the earth began its climb, they began to wake up to the miserable aftermath.
