Wolf

A lonely wolf lets out a cry
Mountain peaks touch the sky
Suns rays reaching down to earth
The wolf howls out in pain of birth

Trees are dancing in the breeze
Wolf packs nervous, ill at ease
Waves are pounding on the sand
Boats are pulled onto virgin land

Fingers of lightening fill the air
Roaring thunder brings despair
The wolf lets out a mournful cry
These creatures want her kind to die

Her eyes are watchful full of dread
Surrounded by the fallen dead
Whimpering of her new born cub
Echoes from the thorny shrub

Head held high she calls again
Knowing that she calls in vain
Bullets pierce her beating heart
As body and spirit split apart

Gentle winds, ruffle dying fur
As the mighty Gods concur
Her strong spirit and her love
Belong forever, up above

Hiding in the rocks close by
A small child begins to cry
Knowing that she has to help
A helpless, dying baby whelp

Lifting him in loving hands
From the grains of bloodied sands
Holding him with love and care
She gently bows her head in prayer

The mother sees, from high above
Human’s can give pain or love
Her little cub grows big and spry
Soon released on mountains high


Running free and all alone
The wolf is safe in his new home
He has mating on his mind
A female is what he has to find

The pack ignore his mournful call
As he stands so proud and tall
All alone near mountains high
His mother watching from the sky.


When you hear the call at night
Do you cringe and shiver in fright
Or do you know that spirits high
Keep you under watchful eye?
