Big cat energy
Silent and wise
Your eyes met my soul
And I came alive
From shifting sands
You followed me home
I brought you along
Embracing Unknown
But the People
Protested decried and objected
"We can't have this wild thing in our midst!"
The "civilized" choice
I silenced my knowing
To follow the tribe
And their rules
For life
You left peacefully
And I ached with deep sorrow
Missing the thick presence
Of your powerful grace
My Kind couldn't imagine
A CALL to MORE
You opened my mind
Sending reason out the door
Precarious green island
Lush but unstable
The dwellers herein die
Believing this Fable:
"Familiar
Is Better than Foreign"
"What was
Dictates our limits to what can be"
But Panther and I have a secret we share:
Sometimes the Unknowns
Are the best ones to dare
