The Great Star Wolf

Alone he stands looking up to the "Great Star Wolf"
the highest ranking of the great chain
ready to make his claim

Sending him short prayers no longer howling to the moon
but to the "Great Star Wolf" to lead his soul
so he might take his rightful role

Into the Cave of Souls he'll go for legend is foretold
becoming part of the "Great Star Wolves" constellation
a tiny star you will see because now he is free.

(to "led" lead his soul)? Your poem takes the essence of dreams loved by young and old and distills the magic into a good poem about wolves that taps into our desires to be entertained by thoughts of wonder. Emile. #7
