This Day

Today as I swing through the trees
Grabbing vines retrieve and believe
I howl in dare and scream in swear
And without the mane of my hair

I seek a path that stays the wood
To rest my arms, my legs are good
To find a field of clovers green
Where prey would rest in peace unseen

My belly grumbles, mind rumbles
My body bends in hungers stumble
I seek to satisfy the day
For this is the hunter’s way

I cannot stop for I would die
And would be eaten where I lie
I cannot stop my swings achieve
Grabbing the vines retrieves believe

Although I see the gray of change
It stays with me as not so strange

Good mornin' He-Man T-Man!

I trust you wear a loin cloth as you go swinging through the trees! Mind you, that wouldn't be necessary! Naked is nature-ally nice!

A delightful write from a delightful spirit!

Angel hugs 'n kisses,
EA

Hey there Tarzen, be careful swinging through those vines will you?  You may just get your wish.  Here have a look...

Although I may not grasp the vine
As vigorously as when youth was mine
I dare say I can hold my own
When young apes try to usurp my throne
They are not as cautious as I
Not sensing danger as they swing by
Exposing themselves to the Lion's jaw
Survival of the fittest is the Jungle's law
As I make my way from vine to vine
I know for certain that victory is mine!

You go Sy!!
