The specter of the wolf
follows her wherever she
walks, a shadow to her
every waking moment he
waits until she stumbles
Waiting, Waiting, Waiting
Falling prey upon her as
she struggles to find
her escape, to continue
upon her path the wolf
only vanquished in sleep

This is dedicated to my oldest daughter who is living with Lupus. Her particular kind of Lupus is Systemic Lupus Erythematosus where the body’s immune system attacks internal organs. There is no cause and no cure. The term lupus is Latin for wolf. I have posted a site to all who want to learn more.
