    Night-Walking...

    Soft gray fur
    beneath my fingertips...
    Air so cold,
    see my breath leave my lips...

    Full white moon,
    too bright against the black,
    shines down on
    two separate sets of tracks...

    Crunching snow
    under my deer-skin boots...
    His whimper,
    the wild he feels blooms...

    A hand out
    to stroke behind his ear...
    He comes back
    as soft cries fill the air...

    We listen,
    both silent, still and keen...
    He leads me;
    A baby too young to ween...

    Skin so white,
    it shimmers in the night...
    Lift her up,
    Her body seems too light...

     

    I look 'round;
    her mother isnt close...
    She shivers,
    I tuck her in my clothes...

     

    As I walk
    my wolf friend by my side,
    the baby girl,
    finally opens her eyes...

    A soft growl
    as I fill up with dread...
    She I held
    was one with eyes colored

    Red.

    A nice reminder of respecting the wild no matter how inviting. Your poem is nicely done you can feel and picture the scene and events.

    Thank you :) ~Audrey

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
