Full Moon

As the moon grows full and round in the sky
I feel my body begin to shift.
Into that timeless body of my curse,
a curse that ties me to the night.
My body sprouts fur and I howl to the sky.
I howl for the life I lost all those years ago,
the world i was forced to leave behind.
The world of light and joy and family/
Now I live in a world of lonesome darkness.
I miss my family but I know they are gone.
I am intrigued by thenew world around me,
With all it's lights and harsh sound.
Now I live in the world of the wolf
because the modern world of humans
has become as foreign to me as I am to them.
