"Without a Heart"

A red moon shines on silver fur,

Tears trail down its throat

It has lost its heart,

Its soul,

Its spirit,

Its existence

Once upon a dream,

It danced beside another

It sang its celestial songs beside another

But now that other will never sing,

Never dance in the moonlit meadow

The night stole its other from it,

The cold, harsh wind shredded what kept them together

The golden strand of life between them,

Snapped like a rotten rope

It would sing one final song,

Before it joined its other

For it had lost its heart,

Its soul,

Its spirit,

Its existence

No being, celestial or mortal,

Could live without their heart

So it gave one final howl,

Before his leap off the rock took him to the water,

And his heart returned to him.
