The Lioness and the Ocean

I know you can’t swim well out here

But I am not trying to drown you

Just show off the mysteries of the deep

And the enchantments pulling my soul

 

There’s no one else out here

But you don’t see that

You’re too busy trying to use your claws and roar

Though it’s best if you put those away

They can’t serve you here

Just keep you from staying afloat

 

Amidst the vast and open ocean

Pride doesn’t serve the stranded lion

It’s best to relax and take in the view

And I’ll help you to swim

 

Would that be so hard?

Surely you have no intention

Of drowning out of spite?
