Ignoring the human race
I sat next to a camp fire
These things kept me alive
In case
Somehow company came
Along came company
A deer, a leopard, a lion
And made life bear-able in
A cold forest, under the pine tree
Where cooking a meal for the night
Was the necessity
I expound,
With company
It seemed like
Just staying awake
For others
Was the point
Of this ebullient dream
Incase prey forgets predator
And prey forgets the ways of nature
And in case prey forgets nature
I'd be there to save deer
From a metaphorical leopard
In case a lion intrudes in the forest
Whilst crossing a stream or a lake
I could be there to
Make it feel welcome
Because lions
Leopards
Don't belong together
But bemusing it is,
That deer and man can share fire
Together
Forever
Amidst owls
Because owls hover and deer run
Man and predator learned to hunt
Now people  just hover in planes and luxury
Unknowing of wild life
Ignorant of the hidden scenery
