The Lion

In the stillness of
the jungle..
I watch..
and wait..
for you~
You will not enter these lands
unnoticed..
For tonight.. I am
Awake!
I sit high an lifted up
and I am the ruler
of my world~
Watch out!
Make no sound
For I
will hear it..
Move not
For I
will see it..
Sweat not
For I
will smell it..
Sleep not..
For I will awake you
with Fear and Death!
I am the King, and I have
not granted you freedom
to cross these borders~
I sit as stone at these gates
and I crush the proud..
I fear no war
For I.. AM WAR!
Watch out!
I am behind you!
I greet you
With Fire!
I AM..
THE LION!

nice write cafetwo
it is said that lions are the king of the jungle - but they really live on the edges of the deserts and in savannah or prairie type regions. do you know their stomachs can absorb enough moisture from their prey to survive?
