Original Poetry Fan Fiction ❯ Book of Imaginings ❯ Brother Wolf ( Chapter 2 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
The wolf is small, barely more than a pup,
But as it stands outside my window it
Looks like a beast.
His fur is nearly white, his ears are perked,
His head is down.
He looks to be hunting
But he doesn't move.


The wolf raises his head, slow and calm,
And swings it around to meet my eyes
Through the window.
His eyes are strange, they're not yellow or brown,
But ocean green.
They hold my gaze steady
And he doesn't blink.


The wolf disappears, a ghost in the brush,
And the spell that it wove seems to melt
Into the trees.
“Fear not the wolf child, for he is your guide,
He is your guard.
He is a companion
Though he doesn't stay.”
