The Wolf
by Courtney
Age: 14

The wolf stands

Graceful and confident

Proud and true

Staring out at the majestic moon

Raising his head in silent glory

Blood matting his fur in small wounded areas

Scars from a battle of survival

The other carcass dead

The wolf still standing

Staring

Lifting his snout into the air

Opening his mouth

And singing his beautiful song

Ending, his eyes alive and glowing

Piercing yellow in the darkness

Walking home

Alone

As the first rays of sun shine through the thick forest

Slowly one paw after another

Slowly, so slowly

Head up high

Feet heavy on the dirty path

He makes it

And lays down

Alone and proud

Shuddering one last breath

He closes his eyes

For the last and lonely time
