The Wolf & The Lunar Path
Note from author: WONDER OF WONDERS! I was able to get back my old poems I wrote way back when I was in high school! My entire works of poetry was destroyed when my house burnt down back in 2005, TO...THE...DAY Hurricane Katrina hit the lower 48! (I remember the date because I remember turning on the motel TV and watching it live on the news) Anyway...so happens that a friend of mine who I gave copies of my works to way back then, so happened to have KEPT them! I could hardly believe it!!! So thanks to my wonderful friend who typed down and emailed me my works, I now have my old poems back! I decided to celebrate by adding this particular poem onto sofurry. You don't like it don't read it!
-:The Wolf & The Lunar Path:-
The moon shines high within the star filled sky
Shinning down a silver path of light
For the lone wanderer of the night
It is a lone male wolf that travels this road of light
Fragile hopes and joys are his only companions
That ventured with him down the lunar path
As he traveled down the moonlit path
He noticed a flowing stream
He stops for a rest at the edge of the river stream
And falls asleep into a restful dream
Within his dreams he remembers his joyful past
He was born into a world of innocents back then
The world was his play thing and he was happy
But then he starts remembering that dark day
When his world of innocents was invaded by danger
The day when everything he loved was taken away
They came out of nowhere and no one was spared
A rival pack of desperate wolves
Attacked and killed everyone...except for him
Being forced to relive his fight for life
His heart rate quickens and his breath becomes tight
Run...Hide...So many...TOO MANY!
A splash from the stream interrupts his nightmarish dream
And he awakens to see something wonderful
It was a female wolf and he knew her
For it was a fellow survivor of that dark day
At first sight of her
A flood of warmth overwhelmed his heart
And his dying hopes miraculously recovered at an instant
Like young pups they played and shrugged off
Their sadness and forgotten their loneliness
The lunar path had brought them together
And every night since then
They both praised the moon with a joyful howl
