In a serene field
A wolf lies basking in the sunlight
As the breeze blows softly upon his fur
He waits for sunset
The end to this bright world
An escape from the light of day
He lies watching the sun lazily
As it slides along the sky
Watching its progression
Until it dies and falls behind the horizon
Consumed in a funeral of flame
The night brings cool moonlight
He rises
Walks over to the gentle stream
Fascinated
While the moonlight plays upon the water
The light glistens in his eyes
Telling him of oceans far away
Of glorious sunsets
Of the starlit heavens
How precious
The heavens that shine eternally above
He is finished
As he looks up to the heavens
He spots a lone wolf in the distance
He joins her
Together they sing the beauty
Of moonlight upon the water.
