Spiral-Faced Lion

The spiral-faced lion lays on the sand at sunset, But suddenly that evening, his and a mermaid’s eyes met. So strange was he, but how compassionate she was, Knowing he could neither see or sense beyond his paws. The spiral-faced lion only heard her wash ashore beside him, As the mermaid kindly embraced the lion on a whim. She sensed how sad and lonely the spiral-faced lion had been, But knew he was strong in knowing where he belongs, truly like a lion. The mermaid rested upon the lion, reassuredly whispering, “You’re very majestic as you lay near the sea, as the sunset’s glimmering.” It was then the spiral-faced lion found fulfillment, In finally knowing his worth, without ever having to see it.
