She lay crying on the forest floor
naked and alone
abandoned by those she thought were her friends
her tears attracted the young white wolf
exiled from his pack just two nights before
They looked into each other’s eyes
an understanding passed between them
it was not one of words for none were spoken
it was far deeper than any that could be said
He found in her a potential friend
one who he could protect and trust
she saw a confident and guardian
willing to keep her safe to listen without judging
From then on when they went to sleep
he curled up on her right hip
keeping watch throughout the night
until the sunrise brought a new day
