The Traveller and The Wolf

Amidst a white snowy winter abode

A traveller, almost numb and cold

Was walking on the narrow hillside

When he spotted a baby wolf on hold

It was trapped by deadly metal claws

Bleeding and moaning for freedom

The traveller removed the tight wedges

And released the pup from the succumb

He took the pup to his small cottage

Gave it some food to eat & milk to drink

He made a shelter for it and a bed for him

And slept in a fraction of an eye's brink 

Next morning, the wolf transformed

Into a beautiful and charming girl

The traveller was astonished with the visual

Giving some warm clothing to the pearl

Eventually they fell in love with each other

As the traveller taught her the ways to live

Enjoying their cheerful days and weeks

Passing their time with happiness and relief

The traveller's wealth progressed with time

They built a family and a huge monastery

He was kind and generous to all his monks

Became rich with tenderness and tapestry

Once, after returning from his work

He found blood all over the palace

As he went deeper into the corridor

He discovered his own children faceless

Attracted towards a gruesome sound

He slid open the the rusty, bloody door

A white wolf eating a monk's eyeballs 

With grisly anger and redness galore 

It was the same girl whom he fell in love with

Tears and fears ran down his pink cheeks

A wolf is always a wolf, we can't change it

His macabre love pounced on him for meat

Fortunately, the dreary traveller woke up

And realised it was an horrifying dream 

He finds the baby wolf still in its shelter 

Sleeping like a fur coloured in white cream

He starts for another arduous voyage

Amongst the snowy mountains 

Around his neck there was a warm muffler

Made out of the baby wolf remains

An echo trailed behind him...

" Men, beasts, cowards and warriors ; each bears a distinct root from birth, superior and inferior, none should disturb what is decided, am I right ? "
