Wolves

Mesmerizing, magical, and mysterious creatures;

Willful, wild wanderer of windy winding mountains;

Intelligent, sometimes inane, defiantly inaccessible,

Even-tempered, hopefully everlasting, and extraordinary;

Howling, whining, yipping, or yelping,

A wolf is like a lone cloud on a full moon's night-

He'll dance into your life, your heart,

Then leap right out,

Making you wonder

"Was he really here at all,

Or was it wishful thinking?"
