Wolves Among the Sheep

You walk among the shadows You stay just out of view You're creatures of the night You're asleep by mornings dew For you each night's alive You prowl while others sleep You howl on top of hills You're wolves among the sheep You think you go unnoticed Because you never see the day but you leave a trail so clear It screams to others stay away You do not hunt alone You live within a pack nipping at the prey you choose Until it can't fight back You do this very well It's how you live your life Now others may not like you But you're creatures of the night

This had a chilly feel to it...a sense of foreboding. One must be ware of such creatures. Thanks for your visit to one of my poems. God bless.

Wolves have so much endurance, they can chase their prey for miles, Very nicely penned
