By Manal Saleem (11-E),
As I walk upon the Earth
Moon glistening in my wake
Around the deep blue lake
Place of the white wolf’s birth
And I come face to face
With the dangerous beauty itself
Its eyes bore into myself
Just as my heart begins to race
Now with tepidity I step
Fearful of my awaiting fate
Life-force dangling on a thread
Burning curiosity yet to sate
And abruptly it leaps
Breaking me out of trance
Its claw vivaciously sweeps
As I sprint with one last glance
Chasing behind me with ease
I duck and jump and race
At the verge of the forest I cease
Watching as the wolf turns to return to base
Now lumbering back home
Rush of adrenaline depleted
I ponder on my venturous roam
Vowing to leave inquisitively untreated.
