A howl shatters the calm of night
Birds caw, taking flight
He is not hunting,
Rather, he’s searching
For his mate, the other half of his heart
Another howl echoes across the silence
Slicing through the thick and dense
Fog, but it goes on and on without
Acknowledgement and he begins to doubt
His mate, the other half of his heart
Last howl breaks and cracks
Dwindling away into the black
Of the dark and unforgiving night
He understands the depth of his plight
He has lost his mate, the other half of his heart
