Moon Song Painting by Richard De Wolfe

Wolves and the Moon Brave wolves at midnight boldly stand- howl at the moon with heads held high. Top rocky cliff, they take command and gather 'neath the star-filled sky. Some say the moon's hypnotic hold induces baying at its glow. It's more a battle cry, we're told, to round the pack, gear up the show. As they prepare their next advance- the Alpha signals, start the flight. Grave power in their moonlit stance- poor prey will meet its fate tonight.
