Trapped in the mundane,
handcuffed to reality's laws,
shackled to society's pitfalls,
spirit ~
caged ~
paces within.
Mountainous winds call,
tree branches echo messages,
cries spill from enraged river rapids ,
transformation for escape begins.
Humdrum fabrics shed,
nature's wardrobe spawns;
two legs double to four,
feline captive emerges.
Thunderstruck primitive,
call of the wild,
true essence ~
unleashed.
Nose sniffs destination's path,
paw printed skid marks mar terrain,
powerhouse races top speed,
agility conquers uneven ground.
Elemental alliance attained,
totality of self takes hold;
beast's release ~
freedom's run

couldn't you give me something easier?
