Lone Wolf Called Loneliness

The summer night was restless and clear.
In the woods the Lone Wolf stood near
I saw him pacing,  my heart was racing.
His intentions were clear.....

Walking to the place where I stand.
I gently reached out my hand.  I show no
fear, he walked very near, he meant no harm
His kindness clear...

I was a child of the wild, very close to nature.
My hearts emotion was strong but also mild.
The Wolf and I were one of the same......
Loneliness was his rightful name.

We lived together and walk the night, and
slept in the day.
In a little shack with a roof of hay. We prepared
For winter and preserved some food, life with
his company was a comfort so good.

Ice, wind, snow by the feet we weathered its fury
the firers heat.
There was a mighty storm that took us by surprise
I took my friends life and nearly mine.
It left me heartbroken, in the worst of time!

Years later I have a big home, young children 
To raise but I still think of my friend in these
later days. He was no longer called 
Loneliness, I knew at his end.........
He was my hope and only friend......
