Gray Wolf
Gray wolf follows in the snow
Gets angrier as degrees begin to fall
Ice makes a coat of armor on the fur
As their leader he joins the pack in action
The hunt begins not simply out of malice
Wolves kill because of hunger when they kill
No food for weeks creates a monsters nature
Temperatures below zero makes them fierce
Howls break the chill through deadly silence
Sharp white teeth come out with growls at night
Reminds them of life's fragility when food is scarce
Savagery sets in with Winter frost
Weaving through the pines they stalk
Trappers rest innocently without a guard
Wood fire warms, comforts those who trust
God watches over everything at dusk
The attack begins by moonlight calm
Wolves jerk their heads from left to right
Ripping out hearts and lungs
Gray wolf is first to dine tonight
With raw power by design on steady footing
The camp site smells of coffee mixed with iron
Drenched in blood, wolves devour everyone
Peaceful sleepers never knew what hit them
