The Wolf

A shadowy figure
amongst skeletal trees
and shimmering snow
Cloaked in red
I dreamt of a fairy tale
Reminding me to be strong
Reminding me I’m not alone

Lying in darkness
Eyes wide open!
with perfect sight
and no absence of beauty

Lurking in the shadows of my mind
Silently
Your lips spoke words of wisdom
I questioned the simplicity in your random appearance
Yet understood completely

I was the wolf
In the darkness
Lying in wait
 to Devour
Your wisdom
Your strength

Luscious Innocence
Things aren’t always as they seem.
