Wolf

Howl at the moon, o mighty friend, for no one can hear you.
I wonder how far you will run, deeper, deeper, deeper, into the mysterious, idyllic forest.
She smells like tangy tree sap and mud from the misty creek.
She sounds like a deep, powerful midnight howl at the moon.
I watch her hunt with her pack. They are strong and somehow tranquil.
I wonder how far the lush, beautiful, mysterious forest reaches. What wonders lie deeper than I have ever ventured?
I ask her what lies deeper. She does not answer but leads me further into the forest.
Howl at the moon, o mighty friend, for no one can hear you.
