flight of the butterfly, rising free
Finding the depths
Of a life lived in fear
Glimmer of hope
Ask God to draw near
Cleaning her paws
Satisfied with her prey
Devoured as the sun
Departed from the darkening day
Remembering the look
Fearful dread on its face
Craving the flesh
And the power of nature’s embrace
Tomorrow will bring
Fresh meat and thrilling chase
Tigress finds sleep
With a smile on her face
