Imagine if you could tame wild animals;
for example a king of the jungle lion.

Imagine the glorious feeling you’d have
as the lion approached you like a friend

without any roars, without any intents
to rip you apart.

I’ve seen people who appear to have
attained that with lions,

but were that me, I’d aways worry that
the wildness in the lion could

come out one day, and I’d be unmercifully
ripped apart.

Bob Boyd
