Howling Winter Wolves

The day is a gray one and bitter cold
Wind slapping my face piercingly bold
The snow is icy white, the top layer is hard
My forced footsteps leave the service scarred

Not a sound is heard, noises freeze in mid air
Later the moon exposes that activity was their
Some rabbits, deer and even some wolf tracks
Leaving me to wonder, are they running in packs

Tired and hungry, I head back to my lodge
Safe, yet feeling there is something I just dodged
looking out my window I see shadows prowling
There they are on the hill, I hear the wolves howling
