The Watcher Deep Within

The Watcher The watcher watches from deep within the forest as a I walk down the trail. He is silently treading along the path above where I am. My skin is on edge the feeling of being watched raises the hair on my arms and back of my neck. He dashes in front of my path, reveling a beautiful grey wolf. I realize this wolf has haunted my dreams. He beckons me to follow and I do. I see he takes me deeper into the forest. to a big giant oak which is his din. His pups were within. He showed me his dedication to his family. As he played whimsically with the pups. As a I walked away from the den I realized one thing remains. Family. The importants of family. That is what stuck in my heart. There nothing can ever take the place of family.

Beautifully written. Did you mean to say 'to a big giant oak which is his den' instead of din? Just wondering
