Lion within

The Many Faces of Spirit Wind 

I told the lion in me to quiet down cause it had a loud roar 

The environment I was in encouraged me to let it out 

But I was not ready to explore 

A side of me that had red eyes and was engulfed in flames 

Cause I didn’t learn how to tame 

And maintain that energy 

So I kept quiet as the I let the hyenas pass me around 

Letting the fire burn 

Parts of me that yearned 

To speak how I felt 

Took it out on myself 

And me heart 

Then Wolfy appeared 

For a fresh start 

10 years in the making 

And I’m stil here 

Releasing old wounds 

Making things clear —- Wolf Lion / Spirit Wind / Farmer Yani Koo ?
