How Lonely Is The Night Without The Howl Of A Wolf

Away from city life, 
far and deep into the woods, 
some nights you listen
you try hard to hear voices;
the wolves are silent
but the moon shines brightly
you may feel all alone
you may want to see some movement
be it a wolf, be it a wolf
there is no being other
than yourself
behold the moon
listen carefully
you will hear the silent whispers
the secrets it has to tell
on a night like this
it has seen so many a times
it has lived so many a years
it has watched over so many a beings
some nights you've just got to
hear the moon 
for even the wolves are listening patiently !
