Lone Wolf Howling
By Richard Maxfield
6-27-98

In the cold dark forest
I hear a lone wolf howl
The lonely calling echo
Of the stately owl

Shivers run up my spine
Cold bites at my ear
Setting in the forest
Paining for you dear

The lone wolf howling
Before it gets too late
Looking for his comfort
Calling his missing mate

I’ m calling for your heart
Bring it home to me
Longing to feel your presence
Your spirit sets me free

Eyes to see through darkness
Like the stately owl
I must see a vision
Bring you home somehow

The cold that bites my ear
Chills my broken heart
No longer feel the warmth
Now that we’re apart

Restore my light my love
Bring it home to me
Break these binding chains
Set my spirit free

Ah, this will please many a lonely soul
as the owl flies, and the lone wolf prowls

well done...

Richard,

Awesome portrait of the lone wolf.  His song is one of sadness and sorrow as he forever searches the land for the missing piece of his soul.  Well done.

Welcome to Passions.
