Lyrics

Big cat energy
Silent and wise
Your eyes met my soul
And I came alive
From shifting sands
You followed me home
I brought you along
Embracing Unknown

But the People
Protested decried and objected
“We can’t have this wild thing in our midst!”
The civilized choice
I silenced my knowing
To follow the tribe
And their rules
For life

You left peacefully
And I ached with deep sorrow
Missing the thick presence
Of your powerful grace

My Kind couldn't imagine
A call to more
You opened my mind
Sending reason out the door

Precarious green island
Lush but unstable
The dwellers herein die
Believing this Fable:
“Familiar
Is Better than Foreign
What was
Dictates our limits to what can be”

But Panther and I have a secret we share:
Sometimes the Unknowns
Are the best ones to dare
