Lion's Repose

Embers from the sun,
Exhaustion wearing him down;
Intensity in his eyes,

Collapsed on the ground,
Relaxing in the cool wind;
Yellow mane flowing freely.

Cesar Cantu Date: 5/18/2009 7:37:00 PM Highway song to travel all the way into the very last piece of land that was able to keep itself stable near to the sun; I suddenly felt like if daylight was at its maximum...that was awsome!!!=D Still images tell so much, even without intentionally wanting to (I guess we all work like that); thanks for the experience =D Login to Reply
