    I Am the Wolf

    I am the wolf, a loner at heart. You are the human and rarely will you see me.  Maybe not ever.  I roam the wild forests and mountains of this earth that we share.  I mate for survival the same as you.  I help my mate raise our pups in the warmth and comfort of our den.  We teach them and watch them grow strong just as you do with your human children.  We live together as a pack just as you live as a family.Our member are close and when we lose one we grieve, but we go on just as you do.  When I am hungry, I must hunt for myself and my family, because this is the only way I know.  I have no store to cater to my every whim and want.  Some of you say that I am a cold blooded killer, but when I kill it is only to feed my family.  I kill only rhe old, sick, and weak, for they are going to die anyway.  I do not kill to hang the heads on my wall as you do.  Now, I am the hunted by you.  You are afraid of me because you do not understand me.  But I can not hurt you.  You are the only one with the power to destroy me and all my kind.  You set steel traps to torture me.  But I can not fight you because that is not my way.  That is what you humans do.  I only want my freedom to run, live and sing to the moon.  I will share this earth with you in peace for as long as you let me.  I am the wolf.

    Absolutely beautiful, flowing verses straight from nature itself. The wolf speaks truth and all should listen. I recall my ancestors relating this to me in my youth. Great write. 10

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
