The Dancing WolfA Poem by zwartenkot
Verse one:
Her name echoes through the evergreen Like one of those old fairytale legends A story about a girl dancing on the edge of a ravine You have to close your eyes and imagine She was born strong, infused with fearlessness And a heart built of white roses The world knew that she meant business Her and the pack of beasts ruled over the forest When the howling was heard it was time to move it The northern lights provided the spotlight And the wind provided the music She and the pack of wolves danced into the night Chorus: She danced with the wolves to survive Because it's the only thing she knew She danced with the wolves to feel alive Because when she danced she had the best view She danced with the wolves to understand life Because she'd learned that living means taking chances She danced with the wolves to the afterlife Because even after death she dances Verse 2: The villagers would say she was raised by beasts Instilled in her was their savage nature And one day it would be unleashed She would become a bloodthirsty creature But they didn't know about her innocence And how she made everything feel young again It was time to stop their rumored wickedness It was time for the truth to emerge from its den Word soon spread like wildfire How the forest came alive when they danced They wanted to see the spirits fly through her And when they saw the show, oh how they were entranced Chorus: She danced with the wolves to survive Because it's the only thing she knew She danced with the wolves to feel alive Because when she danced she had the best view She danced with the wolves to understand life Because she'd learned that living means taking chances She danced with the wolves to the afterlife Because even after death she dances Bridge: One night they saw them dancing on the edge They saw her courage and her childlike wonder Lights danced as far as the sky could stretch With each step it sounded like thunder Chorus: She danced with the wolves to survive Because it's the only thing she knew She danced with the wolves to feel alive Because when she danced she had the best view She danced with the wolves to understand life Because she'd learned that living means taking chances She danced with the wolves to the afterlife Because even after death she dances A girl like her is someone who's never forgotten People would talk of the girl who danced among the wolves With fearlessness flowing from within For she was named The Dancing Wolf © 2019 zwartenkot |
