Lupin's Moon Dance

Written for the Second Halloween event at the Imperial Palace.

Prompt - wolf


The big, bad wolf lies down upon a bed of black silk
This is the bed of the night
With stars shining bright
Coming out to see the dark in the shadowy recesses of his cloak
He asks, "Where did she go? The one with silver woven in her hair."
The hair of the wolf is silver shining in moonlight
If a man should come to her
And fines her beauty divine
She will take him and both lay down
In the bed of the majestic lupine
But people will only see him if with the stars they rise
Learn to look beyond the heavens
Beyond the blackness when they close their eyes
For Lupin walks in beauty and has no need to fear
The moon and the stars keep pace with him
Day by day, year after year
The forest holds his footprints
That came and went in secret hours
Lupin walks in beauty
Pure as shining lunar flowers
