His flaming coat burns a hole into the night,
He stands in my way like I owe him my life.
All of a sudden I sense the trees heave a sigh,
They whisper,"He owns everything in sight!"
"But I do not see his name written anywhere!"
This makes them laugh, while he holds his stare.
As I look back I slowly begin to realize,
He's been pulling me by my very own eyes.
Theres no way I can take away my gaze,
With his eyes hes been holding me in place.
He seems to say,"Come close my dear."
But it only makes me tremble with fear!
As he takes a step towards my direction,
The forest itself gives in to his deception.
The shadows are converging to form his stripes,
The lights are gathering to paint him bright.
This glorious creature is a killing machine,
But still I don't seem to find him unclean.
His wide grins reveal saw edged teeth,
But still his smiles seem genuinely sweet.
He prowls the silent woods instilling fear,
But I can't help my longing to see him here.
As the leaves rustle making him twitch his ears,
It's clear to me it is he who belongs here.
I turn around my jeep as I try to take my leave.
He looks at me like he expects me to plead,
"Give me a square inch of your forest, O Mighty Beast!"
"Sorry,"he says,"I have an alliance with the trees!"
