She Runs With the Lions

In an other dimension
There lies another world
Deep forests of green
Moss, fern creepers unfurled
 
Thousands of birds
Species similar to ours
Atmosphere the same
Moon and bright stars
 
The difference here
Is the attitude of life
No savaging hunters
In bloodied strife
 
Birds and snakes
Side by side
A girl runs through the trees
With the Lions pride
 
Kids bathing 
In Crocodile waters
Splashing and yelling
No wanton slaughter
 
A world without food
No rotting decay
Animals and plants
Live day to day
 
Somewhere in time
Living structures changed
Purely oxygen feeders
No humans deranged
 
Life has a life
As they will pass away
But not one will fall
To a victim of prey

wonderful vision like the Elysian Fields! I'm starting a new tag ;) The once was a man from faraway who held life in his hand as the pen did sway With ink on the page, He left us a daze And all the the ladies did swoon away! Your turn & pass it on! Light & Love

Very good writing. Someday that will happen when the child will lie down with the lamb and a child can play on a adders nest. Keep writing. Sara
