A Flame in the Forest

Born in the heat of the fire
Burning with immortal flame
Spirit wild and flying free
A will no human hand can tame.

The Night, he has his mark on you
The Sun your eyes does claim
Burning bright with undying fire
In the darkness with so green a flame!

In the darkness through the shadows
Glint those fangs of curving white
From within those paws of velvet
Gleam those sharpest claws so bright!

Painted strokes of Nature's brush
So smooth and glossy the fur does shine
Moving slightly in the breeze
Twitch those gleaming whiskers so fine

Slinking past in shadows grey
Like a rustle in the leaves
Roaring at the chase ahead
A flying shadow in the breeze!
