Do Wolves Meditate?

The wolf’s mantra

I hear for miles.

It sounds at night,

when they are away from their tribe.

The howling you hear

is a sign of their quest

for friendship and feast.

Do they meditate

in the secluded, lonely forest,

under the shining moonlight,

repeating the howl as a mantra

to bring them calm, peace, and happiness?

They might be sad,

they might feel fear,

they might be lost

in the winter frost,

but don’t get this wrong;

their mantra will sound for the eons to come.
