Instinct [May 31, 2016]

He is an animal, hunting to sate his craving hunger

He searches for his prey beneath the roaring thunder

Instinct drives him, it saves him from falling under

He finds his prey, sleeping in a peaceful slumber

 

His instinct drives him, it changes his senses

He stalks closer, wary and defensive

As he approaches, he grows more apprehensive

He feels the vibes, the tightening tension

 

Crouching down he searches for the threat

He finds himself on a thin line, an invisible thread

He locates the enemy, the battle has been set

Feeling fear, his actions he soon regrets

 

His instinct let him down, it pulled him under

It put him in an impossible position, broke his cover

His enemy had no instinct, something new, a wonder

His opponent could think, it followed it’s hunger
