The Wolf And I

In between now and then

Skipping between the shadows

We dance

Longer, even during the nights,

Waltzing in the moonlight,

Our feet kicking up the past,

Ghosts dance under a night sky,

Fading as we break into a new day,

In the growing light we dance on

Hidden amongst the obvious

We dance.

Trailing hands in the River

Dipping in and dipping out

Following the melody

All the while, I wait for a pause.

A break, a moment

Where we are not one,

When the wolf is not at  my back

Nor at my door

Where I do not have to dance with the wolf,

For when I dance alone

Through the new day

And the terror stays in the night,

I will be free.

But for now

We dance

The wolf and I -

I and the wolf

We dance,

Partnered together

The light and the dark

We are one

For without the wolf

I am no-one.
