Safari
You could take a safari through my words
but won't pick up your weapons and gear
to go hunting for wild game in my verses.
I could hover anywhere in these parts
where you could encounter a soul, gentle
as a lamb, or fierce as any long-jawed
beast. Yet, you merely wade at the bright edge
of a deep, deep forest holding dreams dark.

I spy from the trees for any travelers within,
might they take a drink from bank, carry out
a sip or two to savor; perhaps, while tented
in safety of open fields, where fires burn sky.
Flames' shadows tattoo puzzled looks viewing
indifference that dares walk manicured blades
outside, when inside they might find adventure
and me. I'm really not a hairy beast, nor man
in loin cloth howling to the other animals.

I'm just like you and worthy.

Something I made up on the spot from an old professor's philosophy quote.
