i am powerful.
you'll never know when i am near
i soar above the trees and bluffs
my great wings touching the horizons.
though i am beautiful,
don't get too close.
my talons seek the meat of your heart
they won't think twice
before reaching in.
i will never,
never be yours.
there is a gentleness within me
but don't let yourself be fooled
i am not your pet
i am not your friend
you will never tame me.
when i lay my deep eyes
on yours
you will see my soul
and i will see yours;
and hope that it is pure.
i shall show no mercy
to the man who wishes to plunder.
a reckoning begins;
you can run
but you cannot hide.
