Drifting in a world between dreams and reality,
Time seems to stand still...
I roam a vast moonlit wilderness alone.
Though guided by instinct,
I am lost nonetheless,
Following a mysterious path.
Quietly stealing across the unbroken snowpack,
I’m falling prey to a powerful fatigue.
Though tired, I gather strength, determination and courage.
While the earth is embraced in the solitude of the midnight hour.
A lone wolf stands upon a rock echoing its presence.
Through the stillness of the night,
Its mournful strains touch the soul of all who hear.
I gaze upon its haunting beauty shimmering with light.
A timeless mystery exists within its eyes.
Its cunning intelligence has made it master of this frozen wilderness.
It is believed, when the mighty wolf appears to you in a dream,
It will lead you on the path to your destiny.

Picture Prompt: The Lone Wolf by Gatherer of Broken Dreams and Fleeting Memories.
I'm not exactly sure if this is what you wanted or not. It's what I came up with though. If it is fine. If not, do whatever...
Thanks.

I love how you put yourself as the wolf, and brought it to life. As they are the most misunderstood things, for they are guardians.
