Desert Eyes

While leaping o'er the desert brush from hidden spot you saw me not and briefly midst that human hush I relished in the moment caught. Then sudden noise of clapping hands “oh where the source” Surprising force ! Your hurried eyes the desert scans and quickly come to me of course. The snow and cold surround me now the thistles gone they've all withdrawn and yet I look....with hope somehow that desert wolf I'll light upon. Wolf Contest. Shadow Hamilton 4.5.2015

Riveting tale. You have captured the tension in both man and animal at the precise moment. Late maybe, but let me welcome you to Poetry Soup. Smiles from the isles. :) Kim
