The moon in its full phase
soft light cascades
bathing in its tenderness
she awakes full of passion
her senses sharpening
she hears her own heaving breath
now is the time
a moment of pain
compensated with pleasurable reward
her shape shifting
two legs now four
stronger in every aspect
free now to roam
no one may do her harm
absolute happiness
closer to her Mother
the forest her Heaven
she's acquired a second family
second home
wanting to linger here forever
no worries
her spirit lifted
the earth her long lost friend
how she adores the moon
this gift it brings
escape from man's reality
lying atop the cool earth
relishing its grandeur
fortitude gained here
lost in her other self
the woman vulnerably fragile
the wolf solid
two selves joined in every way
contrasts in every sense
yet what completes her
afraid to love another
her only regret
acceptance the key
secrets locked within
scared to let go
herself her only companion
lonely yet not
lying pondering 'neath the moon
watching from afar
she feels his presence
strong and gentle
her guard down
approaching slowly
basking in her scent
standing tall above
he knows they are alike
mesmerized by her beauty
he's watched her for weeks
guardian when her woman comes
amazed by her very thought
love all he feels
time's passed so quickly
moon's parting brings the woman back
now the man
weak now, he carries her home
she awakes in arms
a love before never known
past worries now not even a whisper
