Wolf Cry

Running swiftly through the breeze Dodging rocks and dodging trees Running towards the special place The place where all the pups can race Where young and old come together as one And howl at the midnight sun Where spirits soar on fluffy clouds Where hearts spread wings and fly Through the star dotted galaxy Stopping suddenly nose to air Something’s different, theyre not there There is however a strong new sent Stepping forward cautiously into the clearing Bloody footprints of man are visible A short distance off is trails of blood also The blood is that of my brother pack Now alone, and forever alone A long and sorrowful wolf cry emerges From deep within my throat and out through the forest I cry long and hard Hoping to reach the heavens Where my wolf family has been taken All happiness now turned to sadness All love to hatred All because of man Wolf spirits I cry long and true Hear the words I speak to you My friends which you have taken away Please now watch over them I pray They did not mean any harm today All we do is gather talk and play But man has ended my happiness All that’s left is depression I don’t see why you took them away But this I will not question Maybe this is all part of some big plan But why was I chosen to stay? I will spread the wolf word forward from this day And for my brothers I will continue to pray And let humans know what they have done Taking my friends was wrong Now they can no longer play Among the clouds with me Now they can no longer run Or see all of Earth’s beauty there is still to see My friends will know no longer The simple joy Of running and leaping Playing and sleeping Curling up on a cold winters night With the one you love snuggling you tight These things all seem so simple Yet are taken for granted every day Maybe now I realize why But that still makes it no easier To take a heart away from mine I would soon rather die myself Please god; please if you hear me now Give me a reason or a sign Or just take me into your line I am now afraid you see Being alone is new to me I feel like a pup again All lost and alone When my pack found me it was the same But regardless they gave me a home. I know I must be, So I will be strong Just… tell my family this I’m sorry if I caused them any pain All they showed me was bliss They took me in from the pouring rain And I had nothing to give them They didn’t care that I had nothing They treated me like family I appreciate that more than I can ever put into words For I never had anyone to love me before They closed a window of blackness And opened a lighted door I must go now its getting late Take those words to heavens gate And send my love to all of them Thank you, ever so much I will go and spread the word Let the wolf cry be forever heard Like a most sweet evening tint Yours truly lord, ~Silent~Just a wolf poem I wrote for a literary contest but never entered because I was unsure of myself.
