in the distance
light plays in the forest
huge trees stand tall
both close and far
the winter forest yearns
filled with mist and mystery
and then the wolf appears
she’s completely white
she turns around quickly
and she seems skittish
and then a moment later
she vanishes

A beautiful and atmospheric poem, Suzette! The forest carries such a mythical and mysterious energy and even more so when shrouded in mist. The visit of the white wolf hearkens to the otherwordly!
