'Distant Songs'

‘Distant Songs’

When under crisp clear skies
    Whispers of distant howls,
Reach ears somewhere in the night.

Their song of life, beginning as one
    Each voice joining another
Until as ONE, a full harmonious chorus
   Only to fade and start anew
     For hours without falter.

Fear not the heard and yet unseen
     And dream a perfect sleep
Guardians they are, to travelers alike
     That follow paths like thee.
And with the dawn, remember their song.

As eyes watch from the trees.
