In the light his eyes seem so clear.
Head down, ears back and tail down
contemplations cross his mind.
I stare him in the eyes
fearless yet afraid
I see the pain he suffers.
Those yellow eyes tell me of
the places he has been.
Those blood covered ears
tell me of his recent conflict.
Still I speak to him.
His black fur so well taken care of
tells me of the care he has for his appearence.
Showing no threat he approaches slowly.
As I reach for him thoughts
of a surprise attack haunt my mind.
As he sniffs my hand I assure him
that I mean no harm.
I offer my last bit of food
and keep my distance as he
finishes off that ham sandwich.
It's a privalage to have been
in the reach of a wild canine
with such superiority and strength.

Welcome back, Running Wolf/ManofWolves.

I enjoyed this much as I once did the somewhat the same with an alligator.

The moral of my story was--when someone some thing unpredictable arrives around new, offer 'em lunch, lest ye become lunch.

Much enjoyed.
