Lonely Tiger

Sitting, silent, on their own Waiting patiently for tomorrow Collecting thoughts like shiny stones Organize and classify it all Gratified at last they stir Tiny steps towards their final goal Checking boxes promptly satisfies Dormant feelings too long denied And they see the future leaving A blur around uncertainty and time And so they feel the past receding At last This time The present will back down Tiger hides Silently prowls Tiger shows Tooth, claw and growls And they see the future leaving A blur around uncertainty and time And so they feel the past receding At last This time The present will back down How long they waited for today And now they see the future leaving Kaleidoscope shows a blur of space and time And now they feel the past receding At last This time The present will back down
