A wolf stands tall
protecting its pack.

Under a tree
with a little shelter
from the crystals of ice.

An eagle circles up above.

In the beautiful mountains
the gray fur blends in.

The wolf’s black eyes
give nothing away
but a glare on alert.

The wolf shows no fear,
sadness,
tiredness,
or anger.

Proud of its duty,
the wolf looks around
and howls,
guarding its pack.
