-A Tiger's Stare-
By sTr8-jAcKeT
Do you know what it means,
To
stop dead in your tracks?
Feeling a closeness,
That's colder
than wax.
As you step down a path,
That you think is alright.
You've crossed a thin line,
You're well in their sight.
And seconds before,
Your life starts to flash.
You can hear
the grass part,
As that of a sash.
Within just a moment,
Under heat of the sun.
It now stands before you,
Awaiting the
run.
But it's that look in their eye,
The cold stare of
death.
A scent of fresh blood,
On wind from their breath.
As you say your last prayer,
You can hear a faint cry.
You now know the reason,
Yet still wonder why.
She takes
up a stance,
You now see her cub.
As lead to eraser,
Life's
gone in a rub.

Author's Note:
This is an older piece of mine from my last year of high school years back. Wanted to write in honor of the beautiful Tiger; and a mother who was just defending her baby. Victim of circumstance, but aimed @ being written beautifully. Hope you enjoy.Comments on "-A Tiger's Stare-"
