Awaiting the impending sunset
While lost in an unheard darkness
Eyes dark as the deep sea
Fur like silk on naked skin
Feeling as if the day will only eventually end
Slowly counting your breaths
Four, five, six…
Wavering from consciousness
All while wanting the next day
Hardships never passed
Nine, ten, eleven…
Watching the trees dance
Swish
    Swish
        Swish
Waiting…
Hearing the distant starfish scream
Being washed away from their hold
As you drift not feeling at peace
Praying for another chance to rule
The end comes too fast but not slow enough
Seventeen, Eighteen, Nineteen…

 Think about a resting tiger on a rock, durring the sunset, in a rain forest.
