Conflict

The storm has left him scared 

hungry too, as the warm rays 

of the sun makes him shudder;

Shake off, droplets from his fur.

Ready to leave his shelter, for food

he has usually found in abundance;

hope in his eyes, stands by the river

an unchallenged area of dominance?

The worry on his face reminds him 

of the last fight, when he pushed away 

his opponents; but they still pose 

a threat to his independence

Nature poses a constant threat

for all who seek options to survive.

The painter aspires, highlights;

Blends feelings with his imagination!
