Tiger’s steps

Tiger’s steps

Even the secretive tiger's
Cushioned steps
Are time jailed

Even the powerful elephant
Cannot escape
A time snare

And the infinite river
Cycles lives
On days & nights

Because the instant
Is also a jail
As could be any place

I wish you
My friend
A lot of free time

Without been
Pushed aside
By events
