His Farewell

Quietly he mounts his lonely throne
In a dismal place none can condone
He looks up at the moonlit sky
And performs his dreary cry
He cries for the life of his life
For his cubs, for his wife
The others know he is in pain
They know he won't see them again
They answer his cry from far away
They know his agony on this day
His cries speak of agony and pain
And of the night his love was lost in vain
One cold cold night in mid December
He begins to quietly remember
He returned with his prey of the night
And was met by a terrifying sight
All his cubs lay dead by the rock
Such was the price for hunting livestock
He searched for his lovely queen
Hoping it was just a dream
When her scent vanished into the night
He was struck with utmost fright
He roams the woods to this day
Remembering the day she went away
He longs for her and lets out a cry
Because of the day it went awry
Lonely he lies down to bed
With memories of her in his head
Then he begins to silently dream
Of her white fur and blue eyes that beam
He sees her again after so many years
And seems to shed those happy tears
The cubs follow her close behind
He doesn't want this to be in his mind
So many memories return to him
Of all the times they had been
Running and playing in the light
And sleeping soundly during the night
At dawn this dream used to disappear
But this time it stays because he belongs here

| Beautiful... a little depressing, but beautiful. I love how you incorporated rhyming without it seeming like you tried too hard to do so. The poem flows so smoothly... Good job! |
