A Moon Wolf’s Tale

Adventure lurks

In the still of the night

Hidden beneath that silver moon light

The cry of the animals

Wild and the tame

Awaiting the return of

Moon wolf for his game.

He has lived his life

Protecting the others

In the still of the night

He is unlike his brothers

His story as told

Was a change in his ways

A Moon wolf never hated

Hidden in night’s maze.

 

The birds did whisper

About that fateful night

When the creatures all shuddered

From a terrible fight

The men came with guns and pistols for war

Chasing the woman and a little baby boy.

As they cornered her and the lad

Near the caves by the tree

With nowhere to run

No hope to flee

Our jumped a moon wolf

With his eyes on some prey

The woman and the child he never did slay.

Running quite afraid,

they dropped guns and did flee

Leaving the two souls

At the caves by the tree.

 

The legend of the night

And the lives that were saved

Changed the heart of the Moon wolf

Till he entered his grave.

He is the seer of safety

Protection of the weak

A powerful vision

To all those who seek

An adventure in the wild

From a challenging week.

Outdoors may be strange

If you are unaware

And yes, there are many things of which you must fear

But have courage and know

Its never all as it seems

There is a Moon Wolf just waiting

In the night as you dream.

    This is beautiful tale, Donna-Luisa, and with a happy ending. I love the message in your last stanza "And yes, there are many things of which you must fear

    But have courage and know

    Its never all as it seems"

Let's Talk... A Love That Lasts

The courage to carry “To have a love that lasts forever, is to truly understand vows and commitment” (Eversley,2016) In all of my forty six years of life  I have waited for the commitment of true love. To really believe that there are people in this world who can cherish and care for another romantically has become a faded dream. A dream which has been archived into the fantasy part of my mental library. The love stories of long marriages  which are not abusive or filled with indiscretions seem ancient. The new lifestyle sets a pathway to divorces which have become their own academy awards on film. Acceptance of prenuptial agreements and exit clauses are now necessary when thinking of love – whether in a celebrity career or leading a nondescript livelihood. To this end I did weep when I read  from a friend and learned of his devotion, marriage and love for his wife. Let’s be real, and understand this is a true ongoing story of endurance, commitment, passion fo...

A Canopy of Grace

Photo Credits: unsplash.com/Thom Milkovic   Drop your canopy O Lord, let it fall on the earth. Let it pick up all the people who are suffering and hurt. Let your canopy be big enough, that everyone can fit, Lord please I beg you, allow everyone to see it. Drop your canopy on the ground O Lord, Because some people cannot look up high For these are the people who love you, and without it may surely die. Drop your canopy dear Lord, for the little children to see Especially, the ones who are impoverished and living in poverty Drop your biggest canopy dear God on the earth Let it be enough, like a berth awaiting vessels to sail A mooring prepared with glorious flair, just waiting For the people to get there. Drop it, just drop it on the earth Drop it because you care. Please let your canopy fall dear Lord, because not everyone can see Let the ones who need it most dear Lord, be covered by its safety. Drop your canopy my Lord and Savior, drop it on the...

Swirling Thoughts

  Photo Credits: unsplash.com/Marek Okon You got me stumped, Now I must think. How can I even contemplate, the idea of swirling? Its either an ice-cream being swirled in a mix, Or maybe it’s some plasticine, Made from rows of colored sticks? I’m not sure if I got this one, And I’m not sure if I can see, If anything around can swirl into my brain, Just to make sense of this word ‘swirl’ for me.   At first I thought maybe its dancing, With my skirt swirling around my knees, But suddenly realized I’d fall flat on my face If some swirling really took place! Considering next a few splashes of paint Thrown on a paper to create a design, Suddenly that swirl made a lot of sense Understanding right before my eyes. So okay Eugenia, think I’ve got a writing plan And a way to take swirl ‘mainstream’. Kindly make it a little easier, for me to think again Cause this one, is hodgepodge on my screen!   26/03/2021 Thank You for stopping ...
