White Wolf Poem by Barry Middleton

White Wolf

Rating: 5.0


a ghost is moving through the trees
it only stalks at night
before the dawn it finds its prey
and none escapes its might

we build our walls to block its path
but it will find us out
and make its entry to our door
of that there is no doubt

the wolf must roam the wooded glen
beneath a frightful moon
there is no use to guard your soul
no one shall be immune

Profound, we all are chased by our ultimate destiny which is inevitable, no matter where we hide, no matter what we do, we will be caught one day, Nice metaphor and a great poem to ponder on.10+++

A great metaphoric write. Yes, no one can escape death. The image of wolf as a symbol of death is very apt. A huge 10.
