moving in the shadows of the fall a lone pup journeys back up the mountain shades of the moonlight reach him through the trees giving glimpses of white and grey in the darkness under pines that keep their green even in winter the cold ice can only dream of a sunny day opposites attract in the cool of november making his way to an overlook he has been here before in years now past a stone ledge lightly covered in snow the soft crunch of his paws on the powder echo little memory's once forgotten breath white in the open air warm atoms swirl one last time before there frozen his eyes now looking to the valley below smoke floats from a cabins chimney so proud the love only a fireplace or old wood stove can give on a night like this a brief dance of snowflakes seem to sweep the cabin from sight only to awaken the climb to the summit before his turn from the ledge a rather quiet howling was heard in the far winds whisper new help from star beams reflect on the pathway ahead... was it her the princess long lost this wolf follows in the unfolded mystery as the last days of autumn retire to winters bed time slows and returns towards home yet with precision unflawed the four little paws, kept winding further up the mountain on and on until he was above the clouds eventually to its grand beauteous peak where sight is almost limitless and the lakes reflect the stars in the sky like diamonds in her eyes only to find another of the same kind her coat white with a little touch of silver by her eyes of blue hues and as they sat beside each other on that high hilltop they watched on with awe while the magic glows of the northern lights tucked them in that lone wolf night JDWolf III 11-07-2005 |

Loved the story / poem. I greatly admire wolves; their proud, untamed spirit. Over the centuries they have taken an undeserved burden of man's wrath - superstition, prosecution, extinction in some areas. Is man afraid of something unyielding to his will? CG |

I absolutely love reading you, the way you capture the beauty of the wild things, the natural world as your eyes interpret it then offer it to the reader. Thank you! I'll be keeping this one in my library. |
