Big Foot
The sunset underlines divine visage as it shines above the lake
Before the stars ornamenting curtain of night will awake
The tired police sergeant drives home from shooting range
When he encounters something strange
As he slowly drives someone walks out of bushes past the barley
This encounter to the detective feels very eerie
This person seems over eight feet tall
And puts bizarre feeling in sergeant’s soul
At first he thinks it is a bear in his sight
But the creature is walking up right
He turns on the light
And gets the glimpse of the being before it disappears into the night
It is a huge bipedal ape with shaggy hair
And his deep eyes into sergeant’s soul seem to stare
Of all the troubles in man’s world they seem to be aware
And their sad almost human gaze to meet is hard to bare
The creature gives the eerie look and disappears into the night
The sergeant does not know if he should feel honor or fright
The creature did not come to fight
But to see it and look into its eyes was awe inspiring sight
About those eyes there was certain majesty
Like being who possessed them could control his destiny
And needed not to worry about backlash of destiny
Like if you only open your soul to them they can set you free
Being who had those eyes believed that things more profound even than destiny was his
Someone who knew pain but found bliss
That beyond abstract resonance of destiny was just a start of found in those eyes abyss
The stare demanded justice yet was as gentle as morning sun’s ray kiss
