The Wolves

Listen to the wind howling at the door
Or is it something more

Listen to the hail scratching at my porch
Quickly grab the torch

Did you see that shadow slipping out of sight?
Is there something in the night?

Can you here the thumping of many padded paws
Did you see those jaws?

Quickly shut the door and let them have the night
Sure gave me a fright

Listen to them singing that lovely lullaby
It makes me want to cry

The sound of mournful cries fills my soul
Somehow make me whole

As clouds drift by in the star filled night
Gone is my fright

I find there’s a sense of peace instead
As I lay upon my bed

And listen to my brothers howling sighs
Just the wolves and I

This is good!  Brings back many memories for me, as I have lived in wolf country a couple of times. Memorable voices they have!

The wolves are gone in Vermont, or so they tell me. But the Coyotes are great in number around my house. And to listen to them sing at night is inspiring. so this is what I imagined wolves would be.
