Lioness (2026)

I pad behind you,

Watchful, unfeasible power coiled in grace.

Watchful,

Alert,

Proud beyond expression.

Suddenly!

Winged death swoops upon you.

Adrenaline surges fierce,

An instantaneous transformation -

Searing

Icy

Fury

No time for fear.

I miss not a beat,

Nor yet my fierce 

Mother's

Heart,

 

Powering me forward -

You are my child.

My leap surges and thrills in my form,

None shall take you from me,

No, not one.

I clasp you from Eagle's talons,

I grasp you from all harm,

When my child is threatened 

I am searing fury calm.

I brought you forth child

Learn this lesson well;

When your children are in danger,

Unleash hell.

None shall take you from me -

No, not one.

Now we feast on Eagle, child,

Oh my child!

My child,

My child,

My child.
