I'm a writer, a poet, a dreamer. Born and raised in New York City. I now live in Daytona Beach, Florida with my wonderful cat Sid.

A quiet night,

no sound anywhere.

Clouds in the sky,

played hide and seek,

with the moon.

I fell into a dream

and awoke in a dark forest.

Light filtered through the pines

and the wind blew through the treetops,

onward I went down a winding path,

deep, deep into the dark -

never fearing anything.

I heard the sound of wolves howling

and to me it was such a lovely melody.

Soon I saw a light,

moonbeams filtered,

a silvery path from above.

Out into a meadow I came,

where the brightest light shown,

it enveloped me like a cape.

Sparkling rays glittered from the moon above

and I saw shadows at play,

among the dark paths -

that led back into the forest deep.

I saw the sparkling stars,

twinkling so merrily,

high above a hilltop,

there were the silhouettes,

of two wolves .

They stood there,

looking at the moon above,

then they howled

and their sweet music

entranced me.

So mournful, so plaintiff,

as they now were cheek to cheek,

I knew they also expressed –

devotion and love.

It was a magical sound that filled my soul

and I was swept up into a fantasy,

that when I awoke -

I longed to go back again.

You're welcome, Ian.

HI. A big like from me.

Wolves are very important to the ecological balance of any area. I am referring to areas where they are the major predator and on the top of the food chain. Rivers flow again, forests rejuvenate etc when their is a healthy number of wolves.

All this besides them being enchanted.

Thanks for the poem

Thank you, Ann. Yes, wolves are majestic and mystical.

Ann Carr from SW England on September 11, 2018:

I am fascinated by wolves. They are ancient beasts and dominate anywhere they exist. Their sounds are mystical.

I like the way you've portrayed this, magical silhouettes in the moonlight; you've captured such a nighttime perfectly, 'clouds played hide and seek with the moon'!
