Wolf

[LadySeda]

Just something I wrote this morning. I noticed a slight change in my format and presentation. any suggestions for word changes or for tightening up the flow of verse are welcome. Otherwise enjoy and thanks for reading.

 

Wolf

 

Poised in perfect breath

waits the sleeping beast

Hunger drives her passion

happiness is the feast

 

Patience is perfection

in light of all defeat

Stare at her reflection

to filter out deceit

 

She is watching, waiting

stillness

She is watching, waiting

pain

Persistence is her honesty

she knows what's at stake

 

Poised in tamed anxiety

waits the sleeping beast

Hunger leaves her thirsty

defiance is the beast

 

Patience her companion

in this whirling, hurling life

Stare at all her demons

she will not give into strife

 

She is watching, waiting

stillness

She is watching, waiting

pain

Persistence is her honesty

she knows what is at stake
 

Patience is her virtue

as the walls close tightly in

Hunger makes her driven

for things that should have been

 

Poised in locked attention

direction plain to see

Stare down all distraction

she is ready to be free
