Whispers of the Wolf

through shadowed pines and drifting snow
a silver ghost moves soft and slow
eyes like embers, burning bright
a watcher in the frozen night

the moonlight carves his silhouette
a fleeting shape, a whispered threat
not of malice, nor of hate
but of a world that seals its fate

his voice, a song upon the air
a mournful cry, a hunter’s prayer
echoing through hollow stone
calling kin, yet left alone

wild and free, yet chased, betrayed
by hands that fear what won’t obey
but still he runs, through dark, through light
the untamed heart, the soul of night

Your poem tugs at my heart. Wolves have been unfairly persecuted. With DNA identical to dogs, why isn't there more of an outcry. I love your poem. The images are very realistic. Thanks. I'll fav.
