There’s a fox amongst the sheep
A killer in the valley green
The sheep graze so lazily
As the killer remains unseen
Moving stealthily in purpose
Within the ranks of innocent sheep
Waiting to devour
A chance for eternal sleep
It’s more than the thrill of the kill,
The hunt is everything
For if we cannot control the body,
Then our souls cannot take wing
And that is what brings rhyme to reason
Against the mind, stand the eyes to treason

Then our souls cannot take wing...

One of the basic tenets of spirituality here--and probably my greatest failing!   Seriously tho, loved the fox and sheep metaphor--this is quite the thoughtful read!

Yes, but sometimes the sheep aren't quite as helpless as one might think....
