Dreaming of Woman and Wolf

CC JEAN STIMMELL: 8/27/13



DREAMING OF WOMAN AND WOLF

A woman loved her dog,
a companion and champion of every sport.
She thought her world complete
until out of the blue,
Wolf arrived at her door,
hunched over in a crate too small.

She first refused delivery,
but soon out by compassion
built a bigger box and lured Wolf inside,
risking her own safety as he was very wild.

Later when she let Wolf out,
he neither attacked nor ran away,
but shapeshifted into Elk with huge antlers,
whom she then loaned out to a group of children
who were elk shepherds needing his help
to get behind their flock and and herd them
with his impressive wide rack.

Interesting. A wild wolf that becomes an elk.

So much symbolism. What happened with her dog?
