The moon hung in the sky Above the quite world The cold breeze shuffles the leaves And whispers in my ear Walking along the woods A growl so soft is spoken A coyote's eyes so bright Shine brighter than the stars I smile and whisper back Hello there brother He growled again but softer As I softly sang to him He slowly backed away Knowing he was in no danger I say goodbye to the creature And go along my way I never forgot that coyote That I saw that day
