There was once
A tiger
Of
The most ferocious heart
His coat
A silky black
Like the waters of the night

There was once
A lion
Of
The most kindest heart
His coat
A blinding white
Like the snow of the day

There was once
A tiger
Whose tribe
Left him to die
A deep onyx
In the heart
Of a dark, green, forest

There was once
A lion
Whose mother
Took him along
A brightly lit pearl
Into the red
Of a setting sunset

Then there was
The cat
Left behind

And then there was
The cat
Taken along

Into the depths
Into the truth
Into the life
Of the people
