 **Note from author:** _WONDER OF WONDERS!  I was able to get back my old poems I wrote way back when I was in high school!  My entire works of poetry was destroyed when my house burnt down back in 2005, TO...THE...DAY Hurricane Katrina hit the lower 48! (I remember the date because I remember turning on the motel TV and watching it live on the news)  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!  I could hardly believe it!!!  So thanks to my wonderful friend who typed down and emailed me my works, I now have my old poems back!  I decided to celebrate by adding this particular poem onto sofurry. You don't like it don't read it!_

-:The Wolf & The Lunar Path:-  
  
The moon shines high within the star filled sky  
Shinning down a silver path of light  
For the lone wanderer of the night  
It is a lone male wolf that travels this road of light  
Fragile hopes and joys are his only companions  
That ventured with him down the lunar path  
As he traveled down the moonlit path  
He noticed a flowing stream  
He stops for a rest at the edge of the river stream  
And falls asleep into a restful dream  
Within his dreams he remembers his joyful past  
He was born into a world of innocents back then  
The world was his play thing and he was happy  
But then he starts remembering that dark day  
When his world of innocents was invaded by danger  
The day when everything he loved was taken away  
They came out of nowhere and no one was spared  
A rival pack of desperate wolves  
Attacked and killed everyone...except for him  
Being forced to relive his fight for life  
His heart rate quickens and his breath becomes tight  
Run...Hide...So many...TOO MANY!  
A splash from the stream interrupts his nightmarish dream  
And he awakens to see something wonderful  
It was a female wolf and he knew her  
For it was a fellow survivor of that dark day  
At first sight of her  
A flood of warmth overwhelmed his heart  
And his dying hopes miraculously recovered at an instant  
Like young pups they played and shrugged off  
Their sadness and forgotten their loneliness  
The lunar path had brought them together  
And every night since then  
They both praised the moon with a joyful howl
