The Timber Wolf
My Favorite Documentary about the True Nature of Wolves
Howling, Stalking, Prowling,
Quick to flight,
Dark as night,
Fearsome sight.
Stealthy way
Of the silent Gray.
Piercing eyes,
Terrible size.
Padded paws
Keeps natures laws.
Swishing tails
Pricked up ears.
Loss of home.
Pack hunts alone.
Wily ways
That bring lengthened days.
Misty haze hides
The silent Gray’s ways.
Forests surround
Not a single human around.
Soft knowing eyes
Giving proof
Of strong family ties.
Contented sighs reach the skies.
Myths and guise
Filled with men’s lies.
Tranquil fury.
Quietly genteel.
Not in a hurry.
Power that is real.
All scars nature
Will heal.
Mysteries and Legends entwine
About the beautiful
Creatures who live
In the forests of pine.
The truths
Moonlit nights
Will reveal.
As the wolves cries
Ring with
A simple appeal.
Arrooow!

There has never been a documented case of a healthy wolf attacking a human.
