She howls to the moon,

Permitting her overwhelming emotions

To flood out of her heart,

In a huge rush of misery,

Engulfing everything around her

In one desperate, anguished, inconsolable cry of sadness.

She cries to the moon,

Hidden in a dense forest of trees,

As her distressed, wretched howl echoes

Through the mass of green silent life,

And up into the twilight, glassy lake of stars,

In a peal of distraught sorrow.


Howl, all alone, howl away your grief,

For soon, though you do not know it yet,

You will howl yourself out, wail

Until you are but a faint breeze, an echo,

The only recollection of your solitary existence.


Your silent weakness will hold you back,

But patiently wait, regain your strength,

Build up your voice,

For when you howl once again,

You will be stronger than ever before;

The power of your cry

Will astound and daze

The entire world.
