long he'd been misunderstood
this sentinel of the moonlight,
in historic lore and fantasy
given wiles of ill repute
hunted and abused so long
that story turned from myth
to real and even wolves forgot
their logic, speech and wisdom
once respected on the earth
but man had wrought such changes
that wolves now had to run
protect, defend their own
from power they knew not
from honoured teacher
to beast without true home
Yet long he did remember
days when men would walk
and treat every creature
with respect as equal, talk
in hidden language
known to all the earth
and he did not forget
the burden of that knowing
was difficult to bear
as one of a kind he lived
alone, the sentinel of the moon.
