Panic setting in,
Darkness falling rapidly,
I should be safe within.
A howling splits the night,
I trip and fall and when I look
Twin amber orbs shine clear and bright.
My breath is quick and shallow,
I scramble backwards, my escape
Is blocked, overgrown and narrow.
The wolf it holds my gaze,
In my head then come the words,
"My dear, be not afraid."
When one so delicate is lost,
It is my place to keep you safe,
Whatever be the cost."
You safely to your door.
Trust me child, it is my fate,
I have led you once before."
Upon a time, many years ago.
When lost within this forest,
I knew not where to go.
One delicate, warm and kind,
Who's eyes they shone like amber,
Who spoke straight to my mind.
A sad and plaintive cry,
And as it led me from the forest,
I never questioned why.
They light and lead the way.
When danger lurks in darkness,
And from the path we stray.
