The Howl

The dawn engulfs the morning.

The darkness rests in peace..

A lonely wolf is somewhere howling,

defying the insidious abyss…

 

His howl is soft as thunder

bursting through the velvet skies

remember... he shall never fall asunder.

his eyes reflect the ocean tides…

 

And in a leap of faith he plunges

forever daring, forever brave

and at a heap of fear he lunges

while never caring being saved!

 

In his mind he craves for others

as his soaring looses speed

but for the sake of friends and brothers

he knows… in landing he’ll succeed!

 

A certain drive, a certain passion

will take him to the very end…

He’ll even draw the curtains of confession

for those who saw his helping hand…

 

And then he lands in silence

a second passes, then turns to two.

He’s on the other side, in need of guidance,

in need of someone just like you…

 

For what is a dawn without a morning?

What is  thunder without a sky?

What is even death without a mourning?

What is life without a baby’s cry?

 

What is passion without a fire?

What is a sky without a dove?

What is compassion without desire?

What is  true friendship without true love?

  • Patrizzia, the poem is about the togetherness, about being united, about the selfless devotion between friends and loved ones.. This is especially true in moments of sorrow... Death is a devastating event.. yes... but it is also a moment to reflect on what is truly important in life and to honor the legacy that the deceased person has left in the company of the people that loved him/her the most... As far as "What is life without a baby's cry" quote... If we as a society continue to lead selfish lives in which we are the only center of attention, choosing not to have children because of modern-day stereotypes and prejudices this will have a devastating effect on the world and on future generations.... I hope this brought some clarity about the meaning of the poem. Have a great day
