FURRY FURY


FURRY FURY

The birds
Chirp
As I open
My eyes...

It's a new
Dawn
I quietly
Realize!

My heart
Thumps
Hard 
In my
Chest...

With waking 
Up
Comes
Fear
Of being
Attacked!

Not today
Nor tomorrow
But one day
The assailant
Will
Strike...

That's why
I prefer
To
Close my
Eyes.

I'll slumber 
A while
Longer
To Chirps
Of my
Feathery
Friends.

They will
Try to protect 
themselves and
Me
From the
Furry
Fury
That I fear
Will come 
For me
And them
Someday,
Somehow
Without
Warning!
