A Cold Winter's Night

A COLD WINTER'S NIGHT
The sky was pregnant with a child
Her cold breath engulfing the earth mildly
It's that time of the year again
Knowing it's time to join the moving train
The train of festivities
Everywhere bubbling with activities

The sky birthed a baby 
Snow came swishing through the air thick and hazy
Thick sheets of snow sent everyone indoors
For it was too cold for anyone to be seen outdoors
This was accompanied by the howls of the night wind
Howls loud enough to make a man lose his mind
The wind howled until the wolves joined in

In the mountains came the howls of the night wolf
It's swift movement could be heard as it walked through the snow
The wind blew as it walked through
The winter legend was true
The night wolf wasn't a myth like people claimed
A damn shame

The white mysterious wolf walked through the village 
Footsteps echoed as it walked
It was a bringer of hope and joy
The wolf's eyes shine as bright as the sun
It's gentle presence a blessing begun
To those who believed it's message was clear
It's message of hope ringing through the air.

On a cold winter's night
