The Truth About Tigers

Dreams lacking action, leave nothing to show,
Time deftly tracked till the moment is right,
Plot for too long and you never will go.

Talk of adventure, in whispers so low
Not daring today to embrace the fight,
Dreams lacking action, leave nothing to show.

Knowledge unseized, left to ebb and to flow,
Careful endless planning tomorrow’s great flight,
Plot for too long and you never will know.

Brave souls, in chained comfort, move ever slow,
Walls built by pretext, chance passing from sight,
Dreams lacking action, leave nothing to show.

Falter and fear, let chances slip and blow,
Visions once vivid, now fade into night,
Plot for too long and you never will go.

As day’s final chapter starts its slow glow,
The sun and the earth to soon reunite,
Dreams lacking action, leave nothing to show,
Plot for too long and you never will know.
