Viewing Life Through a Lens

I took a walk through the jungle Through the winter the snow falls In the mountains far above the woods. The waters were cold and I had to freeze As my adventurous nature broke out Took me to see the beauty of nature. The blue sky and hilly horizons The animals and the jumbo families Made it all a better walk to freedom. The golden moment is made of memories Memories of adventures that seize the moment And bring with it the life within. In the beautiful cave beneath the rocks I got in to take a view to write my name Name which I engraved to make a mark. In the cliffs and the caves above me, The bats flew in a hundreds, And made sounds which brought them to life. With the roar of the lions in the hunt, The antelopes did not have a chance The swift move and the chase, Brought down a meal for the pride. In the groups they all stayed together, Defended their territories from the enemies within.
