Love

Dashes forward, forty miles an hour a roar, to show it's power Paws so strong, a neck, can break. An Antelope, it 's life , it can take. It can kill and carry, its prey away to eat the rest, another day. but he's just another, a carnivore if no food, then he's no more. He has a predator, it's called a man Assyria King, took him for sport. On Chariots high, with bow and arrow and Kings, with servants, they did follow. But courage, can be the symbol too Invincibility, his Presence, l always knew the other fierce, but l do not fear he'll eat the straw, just like the Bull. He will lie down with Peace, next to the Lamb and wild beast is gone, its roar no more from harm to Peace, it gives up the war Invincibility, his Presence, is shown, to man. So l fear not the Lion, its roar no more from harm to Peace, no more , learns War.

hi. thank you for kind comment. Yes, to the one who has invincible power , that cant be matched. l take comfort in that, at this troubled period of time on earth. My faith stops me fearing the roaring Lion.

Love your poem with all its contrasts. Pity about the Antilope. They are so graceful.

Thank you Victor. Yes the antelope is very beautiful to look at . Their hooves are made to be able to cross desert effortlessly.
