The lone wolf

Just another sleepless night and the start of a new day,
But I must venture the land with fright and go further into the fray,
Though I may put up a fight I still feel the need to pray,
That by the end of the night I won't be digging my own grave.

I run with much haste while gasping for air,
With the wind in my face and the snow in my hair,
I leave no trace for the ones who play unfair,
So I could avoid a chase and not have to care.

The night has fallen upon me the light shrouded by dark,
I must open my senses widely to watch out for those who lurk,
My instincts tell me stop for something isn't right
That something bigger than I is also hunting in the night.

Instead I wait as patiently as possible,
As the beast that is hunting is certainly colossal.
I sit upon the cliff  alone and without a clan,
As I howl into the moonlight like the lone courageous wolf I am.

Reach for the stars

Look to the stars now what do you see? I see a million dreams, a million possibilities, a million worlds, a million mysteries that we may never know, I see the darkness of the void that will forever strike wonder into my mind, I see the spirits of those who watch over us, I see the lives of those who live among the stars, I see the everlasting universe slowly but surely expanding, I see empires and civilizations falling and rising, I see the birth of new civilizations, I see those who may be looking up at us wondering if they're alone in the universe, I see islands in the middle of a black and never ending ocean, I see the final frontier and a sea of limitless imagination that will forever make me strive to reach for the stars
