The Wolf

I found you, wolf, bleeding,
your wounds open and grievous
My light upon your pain,
to cauterize and heal.

In silvered embrace,
whispered words of promise
words of love and light
looking in tormented eyes.

Wax and wane, the way
needed to release
what holds you near,
the taut edginess.

Throw your head back,
Howl loneliness
into the violet sky
I will come, wolf.

To ease your pain
comfort your soul
light your way
as you run through the night.

As you battle
with strength and might
I will shine,
your silvered sword in war.

Until you
are in my
light embrace,
once again.
