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
