Remarks
I am White Fire
Devoid of light or sound
I am the unseen shadow.
On the land of burning ground.
Where hearts are split
And hearts are spliced,
But not the beast, Guipago
Cursed with a heart of ice.
He knew not whence he came,
Nor where to his kindred left.
Left him to wander in solitude
Uncared for and bereft.
In an endless search for food
Other packs he would find
Ostracized with scars
By his own ruthless kind.
His white coat meant they thought that
His heart was made of ice.
Shrouded by societal norms
Unmindful of their vice.
Battling the shivering winters alone,
Alone would he hunt and feed.
Alone would he howl at the midnight moon
When a pack had made him bleed.
One day as the twilight
Of his winters drew near
Something happened, the cause of which
Is still not quite clear.
As he strolled on the eastern slopes
Fur melding into the white,
His eyes fell upon a cub
Its clan nowhere in sight.
His eyes met the little one’s
Life flashing before his eyes,
He wished not his curse on another
The source of his muted cries.
As twilight faded
An icy howling sound
Pierced every living being
On the Land of Burning Ground.
The pack of the eastern slopes
Heard the icy howls
And made their way at once
Like silent swift owls.
With the first shafts of sunrise
The pup was reunited,
With a dead white wolf and three dead bears
Rather mysteriously sighted.
The heart of the white wolf,
Never found in its cadaver,
Was frozen by loneliness,
Shattered and vanished forever.
Fear not the lonely paths.
In their darkness, do not despair.
For on these paths, Guipago’s howl
Shall give you the strength of three bears.
