Into Limpid Pools of Tranquility
“The greatest fear in the world is of the opinions of others. And the moment you are unafraid of the crowd you are no longer a sheep, you become a lion. A great roar arises in your heart, the roar of freedom.”
Staring into limpid pools of tranquility
mesmerizing amber eyes flecked
with golden specks reflecting
relentless intrepid heat
of an inner fire burning
For courageous lions will seldom acquiesce
nay, they will always resist
the expectation to conform
and follow the ignoble herd

It is so much easier to follow than to lead… isn’t it interesting that it’s the females who lead among the lions?
