Pale moon magic
strong,
night seems
dark and long,
when the forest
sleeps,
her heart
weeps.
Her howl,
mountains can hear,
soft
morning-dew drops are her tears,
her paw-prints
left on snow,
roam aimlessly
not knowing where to go.
Echoing through
the white wilds,
her mourning
song glides,
calling for her
love, who was lost,
memories haunt
her like ghosts.
Every night, the
dead silence breaks,
cracking frozen
ground and lakes,
the wolf - girl
cries,
besides the
grave, where her lover lies.

How tragic and sad for the heart that weeps ~
death is a hard thing
What a wonderfully flowing piece...a real howl from the heart..
I feel the sadness in this poem, Vandana.
The wolf-girl indeed - you got me entirely with this.. Such lyrical yearning and sadness - beautiful Vandana
P.S. Thanks so much for 'MOSHKA' xxx
The fairytale quality of that wolf-girl's sadness is felt deep in my heart...
Beautiful and lyrical and sad-
enchanting and full of sadness...
I do like how you use your words!

Many lonely wolf-girls in the forest these days, with the culling of wolves going on in Canada. I feel for her, in this poem, having lost her companion, alone in the cold.
So vivid, terrible and sad...
What a beautiful tale....the image is wonderful of a shapeshifter walking 2 worlds.
A superb, beautifully crafted mystical poem.
hauntingly beautiful!
the top image is stunning, as well.

Oh, wow!! Such a powerful and heartfelt write, Vandana!! I enjoyed my visit here today :)
I love how this reads. Reminds me of stories I was told as a child except this one is full of sadness. I like how you recount the story though and the words you chose, which are so dreamlike. I really enjoyed reading this.
Even though sadly haunting, your poem has an ethereal feel about it, like a dream or a misty vision.

interesting character you have painted here. reminded me of the anime i watched - Wolf Children. guess wolves are greatly misunderstood creatures
How so sorrowful. Pining for someone dear can be most painful. But it is good to have it off the chest!
