I am
As silent as the trees
She is
Caught beneath a sunbeam
Behind her I am not, but hidden
Among the leaves, I watch and listen
I want to clear the distance
Play predator versus prey
But by her beauty, I am stricken
Frozen in place
And wishing I didn't
Have to be so strange
If only the sun had never shown her face
And made me crave more then a taste
My heart begins to race
And I know that as she wanders away
The decision has been made
So this time she is saved
And I leave as I came
In hungry, miserable silence
Her fate rewritten by my defiance
The wild wolf for now, is tamed.
