Wolf's Blood
No one yet knows that there is wolf blood
In my veins, guiding me to the place one
Calls home. I am among my brothers and
Sisters, a part of the pack. Snow like crud
On my paws, but still I trek into clear sun-
Light and harsh winters. I feel all this land
Standing so still beneath me, but I move
Like a stealthy warrior and goddess lurking
In the shadows. I wait silently as my prey
Do not know as I am watching. I will prove
My enemies wrong again as I am working
Hard to disarm everyone. They always pray
For my downfall, but I come back hungrier
And thirstier for what keeps my blood alive
Like a flowing river that never stops, even
In the middle of winter. I am a creature
Spanning hundreds of years old, but I dive
Into the realm of me; a wolf to believe in.

Wow, Elena! Striking imagery with an undercurrent of revelation. It send shivers down the spine and yet releases the mind.
Best of luck in the comp!

"[... I feel all this land

As all women should feel regardless of whatever so called alpha males dictate and expect from them.
A majestic portrayal of self image with misty breath, Elena. Much luck in the comp!

Well done ES. The spirit is strong and powerful.
I love the determination when you say
"come back hungrier
And thirstier"
Good luck in the comp.
