The lion awakens; The valley is no longer at peace.

Natural order is restored, darling.
Hush, now.

The lion is awake, the lion will prey on the lamb;
You cannot trust that an animal be personified for too long.

Hungry? Feast, indulge.
Tired, exhausted? Dwell in sleep.
Run for the sake of running.
Chase for the thrill of it.

It is a much simpler riddle,
Logical.

Answers come easily.
While personified, sometimes there aren’t answers.
Only questions.
