Midnight - Black Wolf (slight revision of a 1/99 post) (This is inspired by another Robert Bateman Print. - Proudly hanging on my wall.) Fading to black beyond The edge of the meadow Indigo head and torso Invisible in the shadow Standing sentinel still Pine covered snow on the ground In a cluster of birches Silence reigns without sound Looking like slender saplings His light-colored forepaws Unrecognizable His teeth say he needs no claws |

I don't know that I have any reply simply because I have no words into which I can place my feelings. I am sitting with an indulgent smirk, and cannot stop rereading... the last line: fantastic. (Reminds me of Brandonburg's photography.) |

Wilfred~ You've surely captured the spirit of the wolf. Sentinel of guardianship ... he tends his vigil well. Very nicely done. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Bill, such stillness, beauty and respect here. Very nice. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Grand- Now I've something else to look for - Thanks Marge- I strongly recommend - if you can - find a book of his prints and see this particular one at least I feel as though you've already seen it.  WhtDove- I'm not sure I'd want to encounter a pack of these - least of all at midnight in wilderness - but they are quite beautiful Thanks Martie- yes Majestic is a very good word - and the artist - better than I captures nature's camouflage so well thank you Clair - I think you too 'see' with my eyes - thank you so much for your supportive words ~You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning. ~ Billy Wilder |
