Howling at the Moon

Howling at the Moon My howl grows weaker as the Summers come and go, And the Winter’s bitter gales bring harsh realities to my world. My aging body grows weary in its long seasonal quest to know, To find in my meandering search the truth unfurled. * Yet, some abiding glimmer of Faith bids me […]
