Shapeshifter

By whisperingwalls

Shapeshifter;

Startled awake
exuding a dream

where within
I am a shapeshifter
; persecuted by the burden.

As they hunt
coaxed with bloodlust

my pups and I jolt for the shore
serenaded by capricious waves
illuminated by the wicker moon

;A White Doe.

As I stumble adrift amongst daybreaks rays
I tranquilize my soul
buoyed by the knowledge
that those hunting the beast within
transfixed venom

whereas I surivived
;untainted
;a pacifist
;a shapeshifter
;a moonlight refugee

My pups are safe again.

What a thought! If humanity could move with the waves as one, we would have much less sorrow.
