a shadowed form steals in the night,
through tangled weaves, so moonlight bright
solitary tracks on a snow covered field,
finding emptiness there...no mate does yield.
forlorn and heavy, his face to the sky,
a mournful howl, an anguished cry.
a fragile form runs, escaping her plight,
away from darkness to moonlight bright.
casting off her past, all pains revealed,
in search of her future, no scars concealed.
in the ice burdened distance , she hears his cry,
comfort bathes her animal heart, he did not lie.
bourn on the wind to his pleading call,
a voice drifts back through pines so tall.
onward to her side does he return,
his soul at peace, no more to yearn.
two shadowed forms steal in the night,
once more together in moonlight bright.
