No one enters this deep into the forest. No one passes through my perimeter of wolves.
Yet the land speaks of new feet moving across the glen. The birds report news of a stranger in the deep.
I have been cut off for eons. I live in the high branches and the world under the tree. I have clear agreements with the great tribe of wolves. This can mean only one thing.

Powerful! I did NOT expect that last line.
I love the way Love found you! Powerful is a great word to describe it!
Didn't expect it to go there either, nicely done. So being that deep in the forest does that mean love is part of the bear necessities?..haha
nice...this was like an epicmovie preview...but hey love deserves iteh? smiles.
That last line . . . amazing.
you impress the sh*t out of me...
moonlight can do that to you! :)
and may love never let you go...
:). Sigh............ That made me happy. Love is hella sneaky like that.
That was beautiful! I was mesmerized as I read through it.
Nice. Like the wind through the trees, nature speaks. Your words are as musical as all of that. And a great last line to boot!
thanks so much:) i thought the last line was going to become evident to the reader and that's why i made this one short, to get the reader to the kicker as quick as possible:)
Nice post..!! Unexpected ending ( you reminded me of O'Henry) ;)
Gosh--your snippets have such a ring of truth, in that hopeful yet tormented way--I hate to think of it as fiction...still trying to figure that out...
Awww....love found you! How sweet! =)
This is very epic Ed, makes us want to know the beginning, the ending and whatever is in between.
Every day your writing amazes all of us in new ways. I love reading your work and the comments that follow ;)
Very nice and like that ending.
The end surprised me! I didn't know if it was going to conclude violently or sweetly.
Wowzers! Fantastic poem with a killer last line. Loved it!
Yes! A happy ending. Ah...love.
Wonderfully powerful!
the voice in this is fantastic. this ageless, timeless, eons-old presence... and then to find that it was love that had done it. transforming as it does...
the brevity of it was powerful, and the tone, pitch-perfect.
Oooh, I adore this! What an utterly beautiful piece of writing!
Awn!!! I'm glad love found you. I may have to move into the deepest parts of the forest as well to see if it happens to me to!
Nicely written.
Take care and keep smiling.
Ed- I had to reread this multilayered piece... I love what you have done here.
Your writing brightens my day, so well written.
Ooooh. Good stuff! Love is a sneaky little thing isn't it? Great blog! New follower here:)
Wolves... one of my favorite topic.
Well... you got a very genuine smile out of me. What a poem!
I love the drama of this, the way you set it all up before the final line.
I love this! I, too, was surprised by the last line and pleasantly so. Guess I've been exposed to too much YA fiction about werewolves and vampires lately! Metaphor? What's that?!!
I hope it's true Shutter Bug! Hey, it's getting too crowded in here for me. Can a few of us just perch in the branches and howl at the moon awhile?
(word verification: poothe. I love that word. I'm keeping it!)
Loved where this work ended. You have a gift for engaging the reader Ed. Wonderful words!

Unexpected ending.. you left us handing in there ~
Though I must say that the last line is familiar. I think I used it once in my post too.
Thanks always for your kinds words in my blog ~
the ending has definitely been used before, but there's no shame in using an eternal truth as a theme anytime.
Exciting!
Love enters and the view expands...
Almost has native american undertones...enjoyed your combination of nature and love...
Wonderful. The surprise ending is, yes, an eternal truth.

I just loved the ending. It made me smile bigtime!
This was a good read and as expressed in some of the comments before me I too did not expect the end. It was a pleasantly shocking twist.
LOVE the end. Love the poem. Love it! Love it! (Did I mention that I love this?)...it rocks!
Love the mystery that looms behind the moonlight and the surprise...
