His lantern waned

as he ran along the mossy shore

The wolves gained ground

and the chilling wind smothered it

But a lighthouse beamed in the black

and grew nearer

The canines snarled

their hot breath like white smoke

He stumbled as they loped

His cries stifled by the frothing sea

No one knew he was there

save the pack

He surrendered

and his eyes opened

nature poetry
