Perched on a rock as still as a statue
Waiting for the moon to shine
Her pack behind her
Waiting, watching like a crowd of children
Waiting for an ice cream truck
The sunset is like a chest of gold
Slowly sinking into the earth
The moon as shiny as a nickle
Slowly rises from its bed
The she-wolf raises her head
The others obeying
Like a child should obey their mother
A shrilling howl like that of a canon
Bursts through the air
Thousands more echo it
Once all the howls die out
The crickets start to chirp
Like the beginning of a midnight song
Frogs croak, birds chirp their goodnights
Then all falls silent, like the whole world has vanished
A thunderous crackle fills the silent night
As if it were a second after the countdown
On New Year's Day
The she-wolf bows down her head
As a bunch of howls fill the air
They copy their leader and bow their heads too
The she-wolf swiftly leaped off the rock
And landed without the slightest thud
As fast as light
All the others gracefully joined her
She slowly walked back to her cave
The wolves behind her
Following her every move
All went silent,
Every animal asleep

I always needed a space to share and write. I'm not very good at keeping journals and I feel as if I've lost touch with my creative side. Thank you for supporting me and reading my works. Art is complex. This is my art and I hope you enjoy.
