The trees stood strong like massive unmovable pillars,




sunlight rained like golden droplets through the trees,




the forest is filled with din,





I could sense life,




leaves rustled,


everything had a rhythm,



even if I didn’t see life I felt it,





I know I should’ve turned back right there,




but I felt at ease here in this enchanted place,




I wandered aimlessly for hours,




then I was lost,




I drifted in circles,




I stumbled into a space,




the sun was just falling into the treetops,




it’s last rays streaming through the massive trunks,




I didn’t know what to do,





while I was crying,




I felt a presence spying,




I looked up and I stopped,




while I stood with my face ashen,




a wolf stood there,




what will I do?





will this be my end?





tales of girls in red hoods and three pigs bashed at my head,





I didn’t move I barely breathed,




we both stood there as if captured in a spell,




the wolf stood there piercing my soul without it’s gaze faltering,



it stood like a statue,




it’s magnificent form was solid,




it was clearly filled with unmovable pride,




the sun outlined the beast in a golden radiance,




it backed away and slowly pointed it’s face in a direction,



I had a feeling it was showing me the way back,





I inched away and went the way I was shown,




as I walked back I felt it’s eyes never leave my back,





now I had an understanding of this feared animal.
