Free, feral, undomesticated, wild!
I run under the cover of the forest,
My black fur rustled by the breeze, warm and mild
Camouflaged, I dart under the blackest
Shadows. I smell, I hear, I see, I feel a sweet breeze.
Oh, what a great feeling to be untamed!
Astonishing! Fantastic! Awesome to be free!
The feeling, as astounding as it is, will be undimmed!
What a relief and joy to be out of the cage!
The trees bow down to me as I run past them, blissful
And boundless from worry and tension!
Birds sing in joy as I prance by, full
Of pride! I run to the meadow, excited and thrilled
And howled ever so loudly as the full moon shined!

The author's comments:
I was inspired by Jack London, author of White Fang and Call of the Wild. It was told in a wolf's perspective.
