(I remember the date because I remember turning on the motel TV and watching it live on the news)\u0026nbsp; Anyway...so happens that a friend of mine who I gave copies of my works to way back then, so happened to have KEPT them!\u0026nbsp; I could hardly believe it!!!\u0026nbsp; So thanks to my wonderful friend who typed down and emailed me my works, I now have my old poems back!\u0026nbsp; I decided to celebrate by adding this particular poem onto sofurry. You don't like it don't read it!_\n\n-:The Wolf \u0026 The Lunar Path:-  \n  \nThe moon shines high within the star filled sky  \nShinning down a silver path of light  \nFor the lone wanderer of the night  \nIt is a lone male wolf that travels this road of light  \nFragile hopes and joys are his only companions  \nThat ventured with him down the lunar path  \nAs he traveled down the moonlit path  \nHe noticed a flowing stream  \nHe stops for a rest at the edge of the river stream  \nAnd falls asleep into a restful dream  \nWithin his dreams he remembers his joyful past  \nHe was born into a world of innocents back then  \nThe world was his play thing and he was happy  \nBut then he starts remembering that dark day  \nWhen his world of innocents was invaded by danger  \nThe day when everything he loved was taken away  \nThey came out of nowhere and no one was spared  \nA rival pack of desperate wolves  \nAttacked and killed everyone...except for him  \nBeing forced to relive his fight for life  \nHis heart rate quickens and his breath becomes tight  \nRun...Hide...So many...TOO MANY!  \nA splash from the stream interrupts his nightmarish dream  \nAnd he awakens to see something wonderful  \nIt was a female wolf and he knew her  \nFor it was a fellow survivor of that dark day  \nAt first sight of her  \nA flood of warmth overwhelmed his heart  \nAnd his dying hopes miraculously recovered at an instant  \nLike young pups they played and shrugged off  \nTheir sadness and forgotten their loneliness  \nThe lunar path had brought them together  \nAnd every night since then  \nThey both praised the moon with a joyful howl  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
