"A Wolf´s Night" by Amanda J. Hoffman

A Wolf's Night



Sitting atop a mountain high,

Hearing a pack of wolves cry.

You cringe into the shadows so deep,

As the daytime lazily sleeps.



Then, all of a sudden, it's deathly silent,

You wonder where the wolf cries went.

Cuddle softly into the tree you see before you,

Because there's nowhere to go, nothing you can do.



A lone wolf steps out of the shadows dark,

From inside you hear your heart spark,

He steps closer and beckons for you to come,

You want to go, but you cannot run.



Run, run, tiny human, he dares,

Run by the moonlight and through your body I will tear.

Nay, dear animal of the evening, you say,

I merely came out here to play.



Then run and play, dear child, he quips,

And through your lifeless body shall I snip.

Do not hurt me, my dear wolf, you plead,

I shall leave this place and never return… please.



The lone wolf, steps aside allowing you to pass,

You can finally breathe… at last.

Running hard and fast you hold yourself tight,

At least you had survived through a wolf's night.
