a hairline crack
cutting through
the surface of a fragile soul
spitting on an open fire
there are a lot of people out there
like that for hire
your destiny took you there
while reality played hide and seek
you were never cheek to cheek
alone in someone elses castle
a dark shadow came to your door
and made you take the fall
in endless pain, retiring for the night
wolves were roaming your garden
refusing to leave
travelling far and beyond
to get to you
from the woods on the other side
crossing a grand canyon
trails, creeks and busy rivers
to get to you
in time
eleven wolves
forming a circle
around the spot on the lawn
where you made love
for the first and last time
so far in your life
eleven wolves
leading the way
your leaded glass bedroom window
staring wide open
at the full moon fever
ruling your precious garden of eden
the midwife cut the umbilical cord
carrying the child to the open window
to show your protectors
breaking the circle
emotional
to the point of madness
with nothing on this earth
to numb the pain
to numb he sadness
there was no cry
there was no rebel yell
stillborn in the night
the story ends
before it even started
just like only nature does it
at her cruelest
as the full moon
hid behind the only cloud
on the horizon
the wolves ran away
only, now
they were twelve
here`s to a story
disturbingly beautiful
just like you
and for the one that got to fly the skies
from day one
into forevermore
eleven wolves
led the way
-dedicated to the energy and reality of a story I was told,
a story that never left my consciousness
