Lion moves
Earth trembles
Jackals flee
Cub follows
Lion roars
Jackals fear
Cub snuggles
Safe furry shelter
Behind strong jaws
Lion growls
Fools hide
Cub draws near
"Father, cleanse."
Sandpaper tongue
Gently scrapes
Dead jackal skin
Transform from
Conform to
Lion form
Lion purrs
Cub rejoices
"Worship! Playtime!"
Awkward tumbles,
Lion smiles
Cub learns
Fear was
Love is
Lion, cub
Father, child
God, me
Eye to eye
Spirit Father, spirit child
Holy breath
Awakening
Death was
Life is
