Dark Demon Wolf
Encroaching shadows of a large powerful transparent demonic being creeps into day light.
Eyes burn a fearsome shade of red, muscles taut and bulging.
Paws heavily push into the snow leaving deep depressions of it`s weight of reality, as it stands 7 feet at the shoulder.
Hot snorting breaths flying with increased force as each dark step is taken into the light.
Ivory teeth glistening off the shine of the sun,
dripping blood that pierces the pure white snow,
and spreads like a wild fire consuming all in its path.
Low pitched growls from deep within the throat, sends shocking fear down ones spine upon hearing it.
It seems indestructible, with its look of complete malice.
But if you pay attention, and stay out of the tightened grip of its eyes,
you can find its weakness and revel in it.

This is a look at trauma and fears, and having them all take one large form. The wolf symbolizes that one form, and the eventual goal is to devour it, revel in it, move on

To find its weakness and revel in it is definitely one of life's greatest challenges, learning to take back the power we've given to our demons. Your poem painted well its dark power...although, personally, I like wolves.
