In The Still Of The Night The Wolf Will Shine

 

The silent breeze

Of the witching hour

Conjures up virgin thoughts

In a tainted mind.

From the sweetness

Of snowflakes blanketing

Childhood dreams

Turns into the nightmare

That leaves footprints

On adolescent dreams.

Decisions made in the dark

Become vampires in the daylight.

Ashes to ashes

Distorts the vision with haloes

When facing an inner demon.

The past is now a skeleton

Wearing sheep’s skin

While the future remains

Clutched in the jaws

Of the wolf;

Leaving no mercy

Except when he howls

At the moon.

This reminds me of someone who came from a broken home so to speak and took some wrong path due to no guidance. Life is confusing and there are times when we all do things that aren't right but if we learn from those mistakes and try to help someone else then it was worth the mistake if you can safe another.

From the innocence of childhood to the turbulence of adolescence into the violence of adulthood. This is a really great poem, full of beauty and darkness and very chilling too.

"From the sweetness Of snowflakes blanketing" Is a really powerful line. After saying that out loud I just felt great. Never thought of snowflakes as being sweet or comfortable but there we go.
