crack, glimpse loom creep curl
light, grip, whirl spin wonder lord
at the crack of dawn glimpse
of home loomed ahead
emerging through the branches
as a descendant of a wild predator
they looked askance at all the furore
of a journey by a river boat
with intent to capture their hearts
born at the zoo they were adorable
they just creep slowly to his feet
to curl in a light grip of his warm hands
their thoughts seem numbed in idleness
but they still advanced forward
often whirled in a spin to wonder
how the good Lord had favoured them
but a sudden gust of wind
with force rocked the boat
it tweaked their focus and off they jumped
even though there was fondness for him
to be free in the wilderness
was a better alternative
how he gnashed his teeth with fury
how silly to have left them untied
was there a reason to curse and rant
for forgetfulness endured
was a grim lesson
