Winter Wolves


temps have fallen below the norm
koi fish frozen in the pond,
road of snow and ice form the
barriers to our safety as we need
to venture about its white beauty,
bending branches of young and
old trees alike touch the ground
ladened down with clumps of snow,
bold birds fly from one barren branch
to another in the hopes of finding
a safe place to land...  weak branches
collapse under their weight...
warm wolves prance along the snow
looking for the less fortunate since
they claim winter as their own...
down from the heights these wild
animals come looking for food,
shelter and companionship...
nourished by survival instincts,
they prowl around while humans
remain in their stranded cars,
peering out frosted windows as if
waiting for luggage to arrive at 
the airport they came to days ago.
