My Poems Written By: Paqtism
Tracks in the snow, a fading trail.
Wagging Tails, joyful bounding.
Final play, before the parting.
Leaping puppies, chewing, running;
Chasing tails, or sire and dam.
Gentle touches, Twist wolf and mate.
Loving kisses, Ere the hunter.
silent shadows, barely seen;
Running tireless, racing night.
Lean bellies, grumbling silentley,
Two-legs "sport", so game is scarce.
Shifting breeze, sudden stillness.
Silence ripped, by grizzly roar.
Careful scouting, sniffing trail;
Two-legs' livestock, feeding bear.
Scent of cattle, flowing blood;
Thoughts of stealing, grizzly kill.
Breeze is shifting, yet again.
Angry two-legs, bringing guns.
Fury and fear, fight or flight?
Thoughts of pups, and den, and death.
Wuick retreat, to forest shadows;
Watch and wait, and see what follows.
Angry two-legs, shouting, pointing;
Innocent wolf-prints, in the snow.
None notice, no one cares.
Grizzly markings, all about.
Snow is falling, thick and heavy;
But still two-legs, track and follow.
Following, tracking, hunting, killing.
innocent blood, spilled on virgin white;
Cries of wolf, forever stilled.
Tracks in the snow, a fading reminder!
