The Man and the Wolf
Once upon a time
A story of a man took place deep in the woods
I heard he lived all by himself, lost in his own mind
Hoping that he'd find the reason for his vex
Months went by…
He wondered. "Oh God, oh why?" He pondered
Searching in the past, memories that rest
Deep within in his veins while waiting for the light
To guide him to the river, the river of the wise
A wolf hid in disguise and followed his every step
Years went by…
He wondered. "Oh God, oh why?" He pondered
From the distance he could smell the water
The wind whispered words of care
He smiled in joy hence he would get his answers
As the wolf approached, it hesitated
Behold a light in the dark!
A new man now he faced
With both feet on the water
No longer scared of its fangs
He invites the wolf in
Relating now with his fears
Reinventing his shadow
Shining joy in his tears
