Does The Wolf Wonder? Poem by Peter Madden

Does the wolf wonder...
what the raven said...
or the mouse ponder...
the lions roaring head...



and does the eagle cry...
about the serpents hiss...
while the tiger smiles...
the spider grants a kiss..

.

do burrowing beetles hear...
the sound of the hyenas laugh...
and listen to the singing of deer..
as they thunder down the path..



so does the catapillar know...
that one day he will fly...
or does the owl fear show...
on its first journey into the sky?
