Breakthrough

Breakthrough,

You are a dancing lion,

eye-capturing and frightening.

You roar

I don’t have the bravery to approach you.

I will never reach you

with your claws and your teeth.

I will sit here in the non-threatening grass,

Protected and hidden.

I don’t need to conquer.

I can be adequate and not the victor.

Breakthrough,

You can be a lamb

gentle and timid.

Little lamb, as you sleep,

I am ready to wake you.

Hold you with full embrace.

I leave my grass cover. I have faith.
