We look to the sky, and what do we see?
How is it that is it that it has come to be so free?
Distant stars shines in the sky of night
How can it shine in this time of sadness so bright?

The wind caresses our fur, and whispers in our ear
The Serengeti grass licks at your paws without worry or fear
The dawn of night has started to shine
With it’s purple majesty, so sacred and divine

A spirit of wind greets your figure and gives you faith
But the night is young and without haste
You settle on the ground with a mind full of thoughts
With what you remember now, tears have only been brought

A vision of a cub runs across the plane
The spirit of the young one runs without worry or bane
The giggles he makes would have anyone’s heart ache
For the past to again be in our wake

The sweet cry of the soft breeze over the plane
Eases the weary thoughts and feelings and strain
The visions entrance your mind as you begin to slip away
The time you’ve spent in this realm is starting to run astray

As you lift your head from your final resting place
You strain your neck up to the sky and its embrace
You see the young cub once more within your soul
Perhaps time has not taken the once assumed toll

You lay your head down and close your eyes
Your body relaxes and takes a permanent shape as it dies
A holy light flows around your shell
And the timely ringing sound of a new life’s bell

You watch as your shell becomes dust
And the memories you possessed flow into your soul with a new lust
You rise into the glory of the heavens above
And from there you will watch your young ones, raining on them with love

For today starts the new circle of life and greatness
When the new life and blood come in, understanding and hateless
Today is the day to start over again with new experiences and frenzies
Today… is the day of new memories.
