As I lay uninterrupted from daily overwhelming pain
Dreaming of distant plains
A vision of splendor and majesty
What could conceivably be approaching?
This steady form appeared slow moving
The strength and energy in running
The magnificent colour amalgamation
And especially, oh yes, especially....the eyes.
Apprehension did not beseech me
Only a tranquillity of warmth
For my pain was relieved by this noteworthy scene
If only for a condensed lastingness.
Power of gazing drifted into my anatomy
For only a brief instant
Those eyes were hypnotizing
As they allured me even closer
Now determined what I envisioned
Although it did not persist
This apparition of majesty
Yes...a wolf just had transcended.
I awoke renewed and in awe
Yet in considerable pain
While glancing past my reflection
My eyes transformed momentarily,
Mystifying as that of this illustrious gray wolf.
