The cold winter wind blows in her fur-covered face
Her paws ach because of the icy snow
It pierces her skin, her heart, her soul
“When will it stop”?
She has no pack, no friends, no mate
An out-cast she is
To find food on her own, and nobody to care for her death
Her pups are too young; if they die all she can do is move on
That's just the way it must be
Trees pass by her like a blurred dream
She must hurry night has already fallen
The young mother stops and bares her teeth
She throws her nose in the air; the smell of fear is all around
Claws extended she leaps
With one try she has a small rabbit in her jaws
It's kill echo’s softly throughout the quiet forest
The blizzard storm passes and the heavens open up
With the rabbit in her mouth she runs off into the darkness
Back to her den, her pups, her home
She has hope of bringing new life
The future of her children
She will fight no matter what
For they are the next generation
Stars simmer softly in the cold chilly sky
Their light gives her faith to go on
Tomorrow she will live, she’ll hunt, she will die
Whatever tomorrow brings she’s ready
It is natures way, nothing more
It’s the way of life the law of a wolf
Survive, hunt, breed
Forever more
The cycle of life goes on, she is nothing
But for now she is something
A mother
A wolf
An animal with nothing but sharp teeth and claws
But she has something better
She has the wild Instinct
And that is her most prized possession
Forever

- Description: I love wolves and anything that has to do with nature. I know it's really long but it had to be. I think it would be better as a short story but too late now.

- I love how you combinate hope and fear together in this poem, she might not survive but she might live too which gives her hope to continue her life journey and that of her pups. It is written in a story like way which is beautiful and by the way it's not late to write a short story about it. I am curious about what really happens to her and her pups. Keep writting xxx
