The Lone Wolf is a majestic creature It stands independent of any pack It does not need an Alpha to guide its path

The Lone Wolf is not afraid of other wolves It even visits other packs from time to time Lingers for a little while, until they move on to another location

And the Lone Wolf is on its own once more

The Lone Wolf does not mind In fact, it prefers its own company Where there is found peace and quiet

But the Lone Wolf does not always want to be alone Even a Lone Wolf desires a pack that won’t leave it behind, even a pack of one or two Even a Lone Wolf desires the company of a mate, but it will search very long until the right one is found

The other wolves do not know these things They admire the Lone Wolf who is so brave and independent They wish they too could be lone wolves

But alas they are too afraid to venture far from the pack

Some of them pretend They will say “Look at me, I am a Lone Wolf!” To their friends who only shake their heads

The Lone Wolf does not seek attention for being what it is The Lone Wolf seeks recognition for what it does The Lone Wolf also desires praise for a job well done

Sometimes the Lone Wolf is sad And it will stand in the rain So the other wolves cannot see its tears

This is the Lone Wolf’s greatest disadvantage The other wolves are so busy believing in it’s courage They do not realize that Lone Wolf’s heart can also be broken

And they will never know

The Lone Wolf will stand in the rain Until the storm passes And the tears have run dry

It will pick up the pieces of its own broken heart And put them back together one by one Perhaps it will even learn to be happy again

That Lone Wolf will again roam the fields and forests The Alpha of a pack of one Content with its own company

Under the light of the moon The Lone Wolf sings Beneath the blanket of stars It makes its bed

The summer wind caresses its fur The grass tickles its whiskers Sleep, Lone Wolf

Intimacy
