The Loner

A sound breaks into the night air

The eerie sound of the lone cry

But soon the loner, becomes a group

The howl fills the night, like a long deep sigh.

A wolf, to himself, seems to be a loner

But with his group, is dedicated to lead

The pack works as one, all the time

Whenever there is the hunt or need

The creature is a magnificent mystery

To all who find a love deep inside for them

Is it because they seem to be like us

Somewhere in life, always a hidden gem

They get through life, when the need is to go on

They fight what nature throws to the pack

Even the evil hand of humans, who do not know

Their SPIRIT is something they never lack

They work with nature and keep to themselves

A threat to humans, they really are not

But seem to find that they scare people, for their mystery

And debates today, still run hot.

So enjoy the beauty of an animal, not really known

Find what it is that makes them howl to the sky

For you will find in them and their mystique

And you will find their mystery, will make you cry.
