I Found My Wolf

This is just a little reminder of inner strength

A guest arrived late last night

He came knocking at my door

I must say it startled me

Since the clock read half past four

He looked not the homely type 

Dressed in black from tip to toe

Undaunted and distinguished

His clear blue eyes seemed to glow

I did not deny entry

Nor did I quite affirm

As he crossed my threshold

A light in my heart did burn

His demeanor resembled

A wolf instead of a man

His gate was smooth and steady

With a watchful eye that scanned

No single word was spoken

As he roamed about my home

Like a soldier to protect

And to confirm I was alone

Each step he searched with purpose

In every room of mine

I accepted an aching chill

Coursing up and down my spine

The raging air did rise

Ghostly silent was the sound

He calmly stood before me

And I firmly held my ground

Those wolfish eyes subsided

Then he gently raised his arm

A soft touch to my shoulder

With a smile that meant no harm

This strange new friend sauntered out

As swiftly as he came in

What remained in me a strength

That revived the wolf within
