I Am The Wolf...

I sing a song on nights so dark,
The full moon shimmering, glowing.
A song, a ballad, a call, a howl;
Leaves scatter, wind is blowing.

I am the wolf that lives inside
My human skin at day.
By night, I shift, I am the beast,
My fur a shining grey.

Hunting, prowling in the dark
I play with the pack
Leaves crunch underfoot, or paw-
Everything we can track.

I sing a song on nights so dark,
The full moon glowing, shining.
In the dark deep night I live
My fur a silver lining…
