A Moonlight's Song

Am I Able To Live On

  The mountain stood tall as if it was pointing at the moonlight's that had been simmering down on my rounded face of an owl, my face stretched to wide all filled with two bright dark brown eyes. My head swiveled side to side just to see but only to be silenced by my loving,nurturing mother that had been holding me a blanket of animal skin.

   I felt as if i was being guarded only to find out that my it was my kind hearted father hugging mother and me as well. A flood of tears came pour down from their cheeks onto my forehead. That warm feeling soon left as if a frosty bitter chill blowed though the space that was unprotected from the cold environment. 

  Our house was a small standard Lean-tos free-standing beams of whale bone that was layered against a large rock, lashed together, and covered in brush and hide, resulting in a slanted roof and an opening.    

 Shortly after giving birth to me my mother had decided to name me Muraco which means white moon, She may have not have lived long i believe that her naming me was a way of saying goodbye to me. My father was left to take care of me. Without a mother it was hard to be silenced once again. 

As i screamed my father had thought of an ingenious plan. Only to wait in the morning. Throughout that night i shrieked soon after i had tried myself and want to sleep. My father had went out to ask of help from the native women trying to find a suitable mother and wife. A women named Amadahy, who had just lost both her youngest child and her husband to a bear attack, had agreed to help with my father's request. 

I was awoken by the gentle strike though my hair. Throughout that night i shrieked soon after i had tried myself and want to sleep.
