The Wolf
Crouching in the underbrush
Watching the deer as it runs
Watch them as they drink from the inevitable pool
Run along the trails of sadness
Anger
Jealousy
He sees them grow old
Be recycled
Reborn
They are oblivious to his action
His awe
His beauty
His mane tussles in the breeze
As the wind searched his soul
For weakness
For anarchy
Some way it can frustrate him
But the creature remains still
Watching
Feeling
Knowing
The deer have nothing he needs
He his nothing that they do
Yet he watches and feels
Keeping them in the dark is the best way
Let them figure out for themselves
Let them know
For this is why he birthed the filter
Preventing the glass from shattering
A protective layer if you will
For his children must be safe
And someday they will thank him.
