Wolf In The Deep Forest

On a walk through the forest
I felt eyes close by watching me
Who would be way out here in the wilds?
Who would be staring at me so intently?

I turned in a circle looking - seeking
Searching for the owner of those eyes
I saw shadowy movement and caught my breath
What I saw was a real and total surprise

There she was, a wolf standing amongst the trees
Her yellow green eyes focused upon me
I couldn't believe this was even happening
I felt no fear only a wild sense of being free

Her curiosity was contagious
In the long dried grass I slowly sat down
She came closer to me with a wag of her tail
I kept very still not daring to make any sound

I wanted to befriend this beautiful wild animal
I wanted to spend a little time with her
I hoped to bond with her in this wild place
I didn't want this our one and only encounter

Wow, love this. Very impressive. I'd sure welcome such an encounter in the wild with a wolf. They are very beautiful and intelligent creatures and don't deserve to be driven to extinction which our current administration seems to be trying to make happen.

What a moment of wilding wonder.. can only imagine the heart racing.. breathing stopped.. You've given us a taste of the world that lies beyond our cities.. the cement.. that world that still runs wild and free. May you melt often into that place.

A beautiful animal is the wolf, this is a wonderful poem of a wolf in a forest and a positive encounter with it, nicely done.

[Coyote Poetry]

The wild animals make us wish to know real freedom. It is sad we get locked into a life where we lose the desire to run without fear of tomorrow. I like the story. I have sat with the wild animals in my time. Must be careful. A real wild beast will not be tame and cannot be trusted. A very good ending to a excellent poem. Thank you.

I'd love to encounter a wild wolf in the forest. I really love the storyline in this. It's awesome!

[Wolf's Dark Song]

I like this tale of encountering a wolf in the woods. Too bad more people can't see wolves and other wild animals in such a positive light instead of using them for their own enjoyment as in hunting and killing or objects in the way of their profits or as competitors in some way.
