\/>\nInstincts play heavily<br \/>\nTo everyone there<\/p>\n<p>Subsistence is difficult<br \/>\nOut in the wild<br \/>\nEnduring the hardships<br \/>\nCaring for each child<br \/>\nIts character building<br \/>\nOf that I feel sure<br \/>\nWorking and dealing with<br \/>\nWhat is Natural Law<\/p>\n<p>Their tough constitution<br \/>\nOfcourse gets them through<br \/>\nIts the nuts and the bolts<br \/>\nIts what they must do<br \/>\nThese apex predators<br \/>\nImplicitly must<br \/>\nGive voice to their life path<br \/>\nAnd just go for  bust<\/p>\n<p>It is really hard<br \/>\nAnd the pertinent course<br \/>\nIs to run with the wind<br \/>\nAnd to eat from the source<br \/>\nTo link up with others<br \/>\nAnd be on the ball<br \/>\nTo be drilled and aligned<br \/>\nTo every call<\/p>\n<p>The primeordial mind<br \/>\nWith its judgement of Saul<br \/>\nTo always initiate<br \/>\nAnd as a rule<br \/>\nJust be inventive be genuine too<br \/>\nThis is what mother wolves<br \/>\nAll have to do<\/p>\n<p>The family bond<br \/>\nIt is earned As we see<br \/>\nEach chain of events<br \/>\nThey embrace and they be<br \/>\nRecalling sncestors<br \/>\nHarbingers they<br \/>\nUse their heightened senses<br \/>\nFor that is their way<\/p>\n<p>Having five little cubs<br \/>\nOne must focus and try<br \/>\nTo demonstrate care<br \/>\nWhich is really why<br \/>\nMother wolves can and have to apply<br \/>\nHer rule of law<br \/>\nSo they all can get by<\/p>\n<p>But theres always one<br \/>\nWho lags and gets lost<br \/>\nAn oddball or weirdo<br \/>\nAnd then theres a cost<br \/>\nLeft in  the wilderness<br \/>\nJust on their own<br \/>\nPerhaps just defiant<br \/>\nBut now all alone<\/p>\n<p>The pack have moved on<br \/>\nMiles eaten away<br \/>\nMother may howl<br \/>\nTrying to pay<br \/>\nAttention to listeneing<br \/>\nIf she can hear<br \/>\nThe cry of her baby<br \/>\nNow in her ear<\/p>\n<p>What can she do<br \/>\nLet instinct rule<br \/>\nShe must just go and find<br \/>\nHer baby thats all<br \/>\nUsing her scent<br \/>\nAnd her senses she tries<br \/>\nTo retrace her steps<br \/>\nAnd to realise<\/p>\n<p>He will feel abandoned<br \/>\nForsaken  maybe<br \/>\nHe has a quiet howl<br \/>\nLoud to him but it be<br \/>\nDrowned out by the wind<br \/>\nAnd the miles now apart<br \/>\nShe must follow her nose<br \/>\nAnd go with her heart<\/p>\n<p>It feels  an eternity<br \/>\nBoundless untold<br \/>\nThe winds getting up<br \/>\nAs is the cold<br \/>\nThere is hail in the offing<br \/>\nThe plague in the air<br \/>\nThat hurts when it hits<br \/>\nAlmost everywhere<\/p>\n<p>Endurance and stamina<br \/>\nNo not at all<br \/>\nThe babies fragility<br \/>\nMost as a  rule<br \/>\nWill be feeling unsettled<br \/>\nAnd shocked to their core<br \/>\nShe just has to find him<br \/>\nThat is for sure<\/p>\n<p>The little cub desperate<br \/>\nSets off to see<br \/>\nA wandering minstrel<br \/>\nSo far off key<br \/>\nHis miniscule howl<br \/>\nWith so little power<br \/>\nDespite all his energy<br \/>\nHour after hour<\/p>\n<p>He remains unsuccessful<br \/>\nAnd she too<br \/>\nSuch vulnerability<br \/>\nWhat can he do<br \/>\nBut howl ever louder<br \/>\nAnd hope his mama<br \/>\nComes to his rescue<br \/>\nFrom however far<\/p>\n<p>The vastness the infinite<br \/>\nSpace up and down<br \/>\nIts no mans land<br \/>\nFar from a town<br \/>\nUnsettled and desolate<br \/>\nA godforsaken place<br \/>\nWhere the heart and the mind<br \/>\nTire with every pace<\/p>\n<p>And then on the top of a hillock<br \/>\nShe hears<br \/>\nHer baby wailing<br \/>\nHis frantic fears<br \/>\nBeginning to fail him<br \/>\nIn his sweet bubble he<br \/>\nis at his  wits end<br \/>\nAnd then he does see<\/p>\n<p>Her once again  together they be<br \/>\nAnd she must get back to the pack<br \/>\nWhich is  key<br \/>\nHis short little  legs<br \/>\nLike a gatling gun<br \/>\nBackwards and forwards<br \/>\nIts a long run<\/p>\n<p>Keeping up with his mother<br \/>\nAnd soon he can see<br \/>\nThe pack all his brothers and sisters<br \/>\nThey be<br \/>\nOut on  the ridge<br \/>\nWith his papa<br \/>\nThe family are one again<br \/>\nyes Thats what they are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pillows of cloud In an azure blue sky White arctic wolves Their mission to ply Living in starkness A
