Disclaimer: Some of you told me I should write happy poems. This is about as close as I got. Remus Lupin isn't mine, though he's not really mentioned in the poem. But you all know it's from his point of view, right?

Dream

I dreamed a dream of a life beyond,

Of darkness far and werewolves gone,

A land of life, a land of friends,

All our travels have no ends.

And then, in moonlight's fullest hour,

We look at the moon with its mystical power.

See only the good, the evil forgotten,

The dream brought hope to a land so rotten.

But the happiest time was when I awoke,

When I found, from the simple words you spoke,

That the human is there, and the beast is at bay,

And my dreams aren't so far away.
