From a thousand miles away,
Or at an arm's length,
One could hardly take their eye off
From the spot in a sea of white.
Amid the identical bleats on the grassland,
Stood a distinguished creature -
The only one of his kind -
Legendary, no less magnificent.
Yet, since a little lamb,
he was obscure to the eye of his kin.
They squinted and scanned and studied
him, even liked the lame better.
Never did he understand
The reason behind his isolation,
Why a lovely creature like him
Was born to walk alone.
His traitorous heart longed for more
Yet the soft clouds were not home.
So he wore his color like a badge,
Blazing darkness in delight.
On his fours, he staggered forth.
