   The old wolf sits outside his den,howling his mournful cry to the gods of the sky. Asking them why his mate was gone? No answer returns upon the wind. Hanging his head, he sighs in lost hopes and regrets.

   Lost in the pain coursing through his heart, a tear falls silently down his face. His heart is trapped behind bars of hurt, striving to break free. His soul is crying for release. But there is none for the now lonely wolf.

   His cry of why, once more goes out upon the winds. And once more there is no answer. A lost soul trapped within a body of this earth, wishing to be free. His head bowed by his grief, he turns to enter his den.

   Once in his den, the darkness closes in about him. Only the emptiness to wrap around himself, where his mate once did. His mate is gone and he is alone. Where once happy nips and playful love brightened this den, now only cold darkness lives.

   Asking himself what could he have done to prevent this unhappy day, he has no answer. Would it have mattered? The Gods are fickle in the ways of the heart. With tears falling to the ground, he lays down, crying in fear of what tomorrow will bring.

I am not sure if this is poetry or prose? So I am posting it here and let DA fix it if it is wrong.

Awww..That's so sad! The poor wolf.. Although I know a bit of how he feels, as my room is like my den, and it too is filled with cold darkness

I know Stars. It is just the mood I'm in. I saw a couple of deviations on here and burst out full form. Use the light of your friends to fight the cold.

this is really unsettling.. Im sorry old wolf. *Trots over and nuzzles* if you dont mind my asking.. what happened to her? You dont have to answer me if you do not wish to.
as said in the note to your request, I would love to illustrate this. Its beautiful, yet very saddening to the heart.
Your a good friend, theres nothing more I can say save for, im sorry, my friend.

No I don't mind answering. I am going to use this to explain the story also. I didn't post one in the discription because I was just feeling lost at the time.
Our anniversary was actually Thanksgiving. On Friday I woke up and had come to some realizations about our marriage that really hurt. The last sentence in this story kept running through my head all day like a song that gets stuck in your head. I was going to have to cover my night shift so I came home for a while and went on DA. A friend of mineanubis-x has been noting me a story he has been working on. A wonderful story please take the time to read it when he gets up the gumption to post it here. Then I saw snowwolfmystic and velveteenwolfess's collaboration on :TakeMeAway:, I hope I got the link right, it started to come out. Wolves mate for life. How would a wolf feel about the loss of it's mate. The rest of Wolf's Lament came out. So mine own hurt and the two triggers of the picture and the story made the words come to life.
I am very proud of this piece because it has meaning on many different levels to different people. That is why I am grateful you agreed to illustrate this, I don't think I could have done it justice.Writing this also helped with the hurt.

Sorry I didn't mean for this to get so long winded. *canine grin*

Very moving, it stirs a termoil of emotions within one's soul. I shall cry a few howls into the wind in honor and sympathy of the old wolf.
