The Lone Wolf

The Lone Wolf 

These footprints in the snow 	
have a heartbeat of one.										
A unique rhythm to the steps
yet familiar to some.											
The lone wolfs breath 
dense as winter’s air, 											
eyes glow through the fog 
with their intrepid stare.
The wolf moves onward 
with a steady pace,											 
leaves bristle in the wind, 
echo with grace. 											
The solo journey 
we all finally take											
guide us away 
from all made mistakes.
As the sun sets each day 
Til” death, 												
the hour of the lone wolf 
will fall upon us all.											 
Life with love ones 
will come and go,											
but the heartbeat of one				
will always walk alone in the snow.
