my dream last night… poem & story…
alone out there…
just meat… just prey…
I feed my two wolves… one red… one grey…
the fence a lie…
just meet… just pray…
away my two wolves…
one red… one gray…
I was in a backyard—
fenced in…
familiar…
from childhood…
I felt younger…
In a place
that remembered me…
Still—
I climbed the fence…
On the other side—
the woods waited…
too close for comfort…

Then the red wolf came—
Big…
Hungry…
All teeth and motion…
No hesitation—
just intent…
I barely made it back over the fence—
It stopped there…
snarling…
growling…
measuring the distance…
Then it faded…
back into the trees…
Silence pressed in…
I climbed again—
slower this time…
Quieter…
Tiptoeing…

The gray wolf appeared—
Not loud…
Not rushed…
Focused…
It ran at me—
closing the gap…
I reached the top of the fence—
just in time…
It stood there—
head tilted…
eyes steady—
as if I was already chosen…
as if I was meat…

Then the red one came back—
Side by side now—
watching…
Thinking…
They didn’t jump…
They searched…
They found a hole—
The fence was a lie—
They were already in—
Now they were with me—
Nothing between us…
That’s when I woke myself up—
Enough…
for tonight…

Haunting and powerful.
The wolves feel less like attackers and more like truths you kept fenced, until they found the lie.
Raw, restrained, and deeply symbolic.

Heya !
Is something stressing you out ..?
The dreams are 🥶
“The fence a lie… they were already in.” This line gave me chills … man 🫣
What internal truths have taken the face of wolves I m actually willing to know that..!
Your cryptic emojis add a mysterious layer to it!
Those two evils – good vs. bad … this was more of a spiritual or inevitable counter !! The Red Wolf feels like impulse and heat, while the Grey Wolf feels like calculation and inevitability. Having them find the hole in the fence together makes them feel like a unified force you can no longer ignore.
Dude… I am all ears …
