How breaks the silence of the night
A naked challenge for a fight
Chills run down awakening fright
Brace for a blood-curdling sight
Amidst dark fur, wrathful eyes
Gnashing teeth, teeming with vice
Razor claws, lusting for flesh
Malicious snout, fear senses
Fervour ripples in my chest
Doubt and envy with agony beset
Among dark thoughts, something fetid
And in its core, something timid
Then through the dismal, an outstretched paw
Stark fur of unparalleled white
My terror-struck heart thaws
Blazing darkness with bliding lligh
I gape in wonder at the godsend
As it pauses facing the fiend
A creature of the truest beauty
Unsullied, unafraid, defending duty
Warmth seeps into my bones
Drives away fear, restores hope
Chest expands with a blossoming heart
Beating a melody at long last
When both collide in the ground of reason
Wisdom and Instinct shall spar
History shall approach through clouded vision
Tear apart nerves in civil war
And yet, through the blood bath, a seed
A lone victory, that shall define
The course of nations, meaning of time
Through the dust, shall emerge
None, but the one you feed.
