The lone wolf sits silently in the forest Waiting patiently for the moon to crest The wind whispers to her through the trees Wonder what it is her yellow eyes see She lowers her head to the ground Trying to decipher the sound Coming through the darkness now She'll find it somewhere somehow It is a whimpering in the distance That puts her in a trance Tentatively she starts to walk She hears a yelp and slightly balks Out of the forest and through the stream Which eerily reflects the moon's beams Now she is near the mouth of the cave Anxiety hits her in a sudden wave A young wolf is trapped inside Thought it would be a good place to hide The lone wolf investigates the scene With a calmness that's so serene She frees the pup's leg from between the rocks Time to sit back and take stock The pup limps slightly but he'll be fine Next time he'll have his time to shine Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W.

LoneWolf~ You would have known that this one would be loved by me. It is tenderly done. I enjoyed the attention to the detail of the wolf caring for her own ... instinct. Symbolic of the fact that man doesn't take care of the wolf ... so goodness knows they need to do it themselves. Thanks for sharing this poignant piece. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

X Angel....me too!! Here have a tissue... Kit....Thank you!! A high compliment indeed to know I took you there. Makes me smile. Marge....glad you loved it my friend!! Yes, I made sure to pay attention to the detail because I think wolves are largely misunderstood by man. You got the point exactly!!! You are welcome....it was my pleasure to share this one. Mike....Thanks for reading! Sven....Thank you and yes, we do always try to encourage and help others. Just human nature, my friend.
