Trijan refrain Grief ascends with the rising moon 'neath frosted Winter skies A lone wolf howls, wailing a rune desperate for replies Her mate has died, she must lament beside him 'til last breath was spent Parted in death Parted in death His body torn, tattered and rent Grief ascsends with the rising moon as thorns, it pricks my skin There is sorrow in the wolf's tune My emotions akin To shadowed darkness we lay claim Eyes cold without a spark or flame Feeling such pain Feeling such pain Love, it's you I seek to defame Grief ascends with the rising moon Haunting my thoughts tonight Who do I blame and dare impugn with defiance and spite I would caterwaul to the wind if death's warrant I could rescind His life restored His life restored No longer would I be chagrined

Amazing write Lin...so well crafted, rich in imagery, a delight to the ear when read aloud, carries a profound and deeply emotive meaning. What else can I say dear Lin...except our mutual friend the moon stars again.

The loss of a partner even in the animal kingdom is heartbreaking Lin, takes a long time to get over it. Tom
