"Power"

The chill of the night air
Calms the heat of the day
With each soft breeze
The humidity fades away

As I take in the briskness
I begin to comtemplate
Thinking about the days gone by
What have I done to be in this state

Like a lone eagle soaring high
Like a lone shark swimming deep
Like a lone wolf hunting game
The hills I must climb are steep

Ill snatch that rodent off the ground
Eyeing it from high above the clouds
Dinner for one with none to share
I'll protect my catch for which I'm proud

I'll rip that dolphin into shreds
If it dares to come across my path
The meat is sweet upon my pallet
Try to take it away, feel my wrath.

Sly and cunning Ill devour the sheep
With a quickness you have never seen
The pack, they can fend for themselves
My hunger is much too obscene

This is the place to which I've arrived
Traveling across this mighty land
Oceans conquered and mountains climbed
Now laying peacefully in the sand

Here I lay my feet they are bare
Drifting into a dreamless sleep
When I wake I will know
That truth is just and my will competes.

The fact is that with all my power
It's still feels a little strange
To watch the women pass me by
Seemingly aloof and a little afraid.

I will soar, dive, hunt and kill
I can withstand elements alone
I see what I want and will obtain
My treasures I need to bring home.

So beware those that wish
To block my way I'll eat you alive
Yes you are like a tasty dish
This awesome power will thrive.
