A Friendship Between Lion And Human

Moonlight shines on the dark, green ground
I hear the howling of a hungry hound
I open up my now tired eyes
and gaze upon the starry skies

The cold grass tickled my bare, damp feet
As I turn around to finally greet
Behind me stood an amazing sight
Bright sandy color in the dark, black night

A majestic lion stood proud and tall
Looked at me, so tiny and small
I flashed him a bright white grin
Got up and tickled his chin

The lion purred and nipped at my hair
I laughed out loud as I turned to stare
His big brown eyes now looked at me
I nodded to him and counted to three

We raced across to the oak tree
Stumbling over each other in glee
Caught up in the moment, having fun.
Animal and human, united as one.
