A Sheep in Wolf Clothing

Each day I come and sit at the window
Hoping that today will be the day
That I will see my wolf

At the end of each day I am disappointed
That my wolf didn’t visit
I know my wolf will come back to me

All I can do is wait
I lost count on how people ask about my wolf
Each time I gave them the same answer

No one will ever be able to take my wolf away
There will be a day when my wolf will set me free
Then no one will ever be able to stop me

It was a windy winter’s night
I was wide awake worrying about my wolf
He had never stayed this long away

I refuse to even allow the reason my wolf
Had not shown up in three months
I could feel in my soul my wolf was alive

It was very late that in the evening
When I heard this very faint howl outside my window
I jumped out of my bed and went to my window

A huge smile broke across my face
My wolf had come back to me
I opened my window as quietly as I could

I reached my hand out and I was welcome by his fur
Tears started to stream down my face
A single tear feel into the midnight black fur by his neck

I wanted to get out of this place
So badly that I was willing to do anything
My wolf looked at me with knowing eyes

That one look from my wolf’s eyes was I need
I had the courage to leave
The courage I had not had before

I climbed out of my window
Making sure my wolf or I would not get injured
As soon as my fee had hit the snow I let out a squeal

I was not prepared to feel the cold on my bare feet
I stood their next to my wolf waiting for the next move
He refused to move an inch

At first I did not understand what my wolf wanted
I saw him look at my feet then his back
Now I understand my wolf was going to carry me

I slowly got onto his back afraid I might hurt him
Once he knew I was fall on the holding tight
Off we went through the woods to an unknown place

It was strange to me for putting my trust in him
Somehow I knew he would never harm me
That he would protect me from those who would

At least I understand the meaning of being free
I love how the wind went through my hair as we soared

Before I even realized we came to a stop inside a cave
I got off my wolf and sat on the ground
It wasn’t until I sat down did the cold hit me

I could feel the shivers running up and down my back
My wolf walked up behind me and rubbed his fur against my back
It was like my wolf was trying to warm me up

For the first time in a long time I felt love
I laid full down on the ground and he wrapped his body around me
I felt at peace

As I slowly allowed my eyes to close
A thought hit me I was no longer in pain
I look at him and saw him my angel

My angel who was going to take me home
I heard many say that it’s scary when your angel comes to you
That may be true to some

Not for me though
I had fought for so long and so hard
That I wanted this peace

One last look at my wolf
I could have sworn he was sad I was leaving
But I wouldn't want to leave any other way
