The Place of Slumber 5
Upon its lair, she now descends
A light, just there, she sees
An opening, now moonlight glows
A sight she can’t believe
For captured here, are all the lives
Of all the animals taken
The beast really wasn’t a beast at all
Just a creature left forsaken.
It held the creatures, big and small,
In order to have them near
To all the other animals left;
Of the beast, they would just fear.
She knew for sure, now, what to do
She dropped her arrows, her bow
She walked up to the creature now
Of her future, she didn’t know.
