Almost a Poem

[semiotic_pirate]

This is what I was inspired to write, when I wad looking out a window, while still abed in the crisp predawn under the toasty warm covers.

And The Lion Shall Lay Down With The Lamb

Early morning light
through the trees
Shows me a pattern of light and leave darkness
It resembles a lamb lying with a lion
The lamb on the left
The lion to the right
Laying flush against each other
Back to back
One eye each facing me
The lamb has its forelegs
Folded yet upthrust
Into the adjacent air
The lion in similar pose
But with velveted paws
I can hear the lion's voice
A low growl tumbling softly
I can feel a sense of peaceful contentment from both; happiness
At the edge of conscious thought
One has fire in its eye - the lamb
The other has fire in its mouth - the lion
What a strange thing with which to wake
