There once was a Wolf
Who sang through the night
He slept through the day
Because the Sun was too bright
The Wolf loved the night
For it was quiet and dark
But as a creature of light
He was attracted to sparks
So the wolf sang his song
To the millions of Stars
To him they all looked the same
He could not tell them apart
They liked the Wolf's song,
Were sparkling and glistening
But they never answered
As if they weren't listening
The Wolf kept on howling
Until the church bell rang Four
As the Stars did not answer
He felt lonelier than before.
But just before dawn
A sliver passed by
It was bright like the Stars
Another child of the sky
At the next dusk
He again saw the figure
As more nights passed by
It grew bigger and bigger
Until once at midnight
It started to speak
For the song of the Wolf
Had it very intrigued:
„I am the Moon,
To the sky I belong
But you I find curious
Please continue your song“
The wolf just fell silent
He was struck in awe
Such a beautiful creature
Never he'd seen before.
He started to panick
Turned almost away
When he saw his reflection
Nearby in a lake.
Above him the Moon lay,
His fur covered in light
He was shining like Stars
Like the sun he was bright
For the first time the Moon
And himself were together
His howl rose so high
It was clearer than ever.
The Wolf sang his song
All through the dark
The Moon danced above him
That embraced the Wolf's heart.
But as morning came closer
The Moon started to fade
And when the Sun rose
It had gone away.
The Wolf quit his singing
He stopped in his tracks
He was worried and wondering
If the Moon ever came back.
At next nights emergence
He looked at the sky
And as the Moon rose
His heart was lifted as high
Together they danced
Through the Moon's light they shone
For the first time in his life
The Wolf was not alone.
The Wolf felt serenity,
His existence was true
And with all his heart
He sang:“Moon, I love you“.
The Moon looked unsettled
As if those words she feared
And when the Wolf looked up
She had disappeared.
The Wolf screamed at the sky
Begged not to be left
And at every dawn
Lamented his heart's theft
He could not stop singing
He could not retreat
For the love for the Moon
Came with every heartbeat
After 28 nights
Filled with howlings of pain
The Moon could not stay hidden
She rose again.
She said:“ Wolf, please stop crying
And don't make me run
I love you too, Wolf,
But I belong to the Sun“
„I love Him forever
Even when we were apart
You have my smile, Wolf,
But He has my heart“.
„So please stop your singing
and go back to sleep
I know that you love me
but with you I can't be“
The Wolf was ashaken
Could not comprehend
How could the Moon love him
and still leave in the end.
The Wolf kept on singing
But the Moon never returned
There was never an answer
Nothing he'd learned
The Moon's light in his heart
Kept shining so strong
Every night he tries fiercly
To bring Her back with his song.
