The Fierce Beauty
If you’ve ever been caught in a freakish storm
Where massive thunderheads quickly form
And you could feel the electricity in the air The pulse and threat of the lightening there
If you’ve seen hail falling and heard the sirens roar
Covered yourself with a mattress on the bathroom floor
Then you have beheld the fierce beauty
If you’ve seen the majestic beast stalk its prey
With power and grace as it calculates its way
If you have ever witnessed the intensity in its stare
The blood streaked mane glistening in the suns glare
The confident stride as it walks away
The tenderness when engaged with its cubs at play
You have beheld the fierce beauty
If you have lived and loved and lost in life
Enjoyed a sunrise and endured a dark night
If you ever lost your breath in passions throes
Held someone’s hand while their soul goes
If you’ve ever held your child and felt the joy they bring
And then watched them suffer but you felt the sting
You have beheld the fierce beauty
