Above it all
But alone in understanding
Certainly they all followed him
Didn't they know he knew it all?
Everyone waiting for his call
Finally, they turned his way
Gathering the strength of the pack
Hearing his howl
Independent of one another,
Just as they were about to disperse.
Keeping them together was easy,
Listening to him was too.
Mostly waiting for direction,
Never thinking of themselves.
Only, the pack had other plans.
Perhaps each was the alpha
Quietly planning his own hunt.
Reserved and aloof
Silent and assured and
Thoughtful.
Ultimately, each was
Victorious in his own mind,
Waiting for the chance to
Explode his strategy to seize power!
