Jag blev inspirerad av mina vargars sammandrabbning med en grizzlybjörn för att skydda sina ungar och skrev ihop den här dikten.
As the night embraces the forest
And the moon lights up the land
I lay down my weary body
On a bed of dirt and sand
My tired eyes look to the den
Dug in a hillside, safe and deep
Inside its warm and protective hold
I hear my pups all sound asleep
They're alive and they're unharmed
But I can't say the same for me
If that's the price for all their lives
Then I will pay it happily
I let out a soft whimper
As sharp pain shoots through my jaw
And in my back I feel the hurt
From that fearsome grizzly's paw
It came charging like a demon
Some kind of monster in the night
But it deeply underestimated
How hard a pair of wolves can fight
We could never kill it
But we could force the beast away
I took some risks to guarantee
That my pack would be okay
A tired sigh escapes me
I thought I'd last longer than this
Those heavy thoughts are washed away
By my loved one's gentle kiss
He's by my side as always
So reliable and kind
Comforting me as he keeps watch
The best mate I could ever find
He nudges me towards the den
Asking me to go inside
He seems to think I'll make it
As long as I rest and hide
On shaky legs, I slowly rise
Wanting to believe he's right
He quickly joins me at my side
Supporting me with all his might
If I can only sleep till morning
He says I should be feeling better then
But I look to the east and wonder
Will I get to see the sun again?
Väldigt fin dikt. 😊
Så sorglig, jag hoppas hon klarar sig.... 😢 Vackert skrivet i alla fall!
