Description
Seasons of the Wolf – Winter
The Northern Spirits have brought the snows
and the long cold
and the waiting.
Hunger may live in us up to two weeks
as we try and try again
to find the prey which will offer itself up to become
Wolf flesh.
Hunger grows in us for more than food, as well.
Soon we, Alpha male and female of this Clan,
will feel the pull to join,
the warmth of fur, the play, the mating, the joy.
The promise of the future
an instinct in our blood,
and the hope of the Wild burns in us like fire,
through the long, cold nights of Winter.
