Wild

Wild


We live inside, you and I
But you are wild.
Eyes like planets filled with fire,
Fur that's lined with stripes of tigers.

We live inside, you and I
I look around;
Man-made walls of brick and plaster,
Stuck behind a barren flower.

We live inside, you and I
But I am tame -
Because you bring the outside in 
And your wild keeps me sane.
