Lions

they smelled the traces I left behind
fear has a strong stench to all but one with it
the shadows of them looming ever larger
unknown, unseen, unfathomable fangs grow bigger
but one must remember
“ash to ash”
for what do you have to lose after all?
it’s a life that was granted as an extra.
live with a full heart
see what the world holds
at the end, we’ll see
till then, let us be
courageous
ambitious
virtuous
