Impenetrable Winter Poem by Kathlene Ann

A lonesome howl resounds solemnly over the blue-shadowed snow.
A whimpering limps across the blank expanse
As a wolf pup walks alone.
Injured, the little one struggles on.
A trail of blood, dark and ruby,
Flows from the child's small body.
Without a sound he falls into the soft snow for the last time.
Cold, unforgiving winter covers his tracks,
Hides his pain,
Erases his dying whispers and his dead body from this earth.
Flakes fall. Whiteness reigns the dark night once more.
