- the powder blankets the hillside
- the full moon casts a glitterling light over each snowflake
- through the night a single wolf pierces the silence
- sending an eerie call out to his lost pack
- a mournful, lonely cry
- his shadow rises above the countryside
- and then quietly disappears
- leaving only his tracks in the snow
- and the memory of his sad song
- to prove he lived
