Redeemer
Johnclarestokes
Moccasin slid silently along beside
limpid-eyed hare struck a frozen pose
lanky-legged raccoon hastened stride
from this foe they so know.
Came a man laden down
in shadow the slithering snake
blood of Cain crying from the ground
on his calf the fangs did partake.
Hare on the lush green grass fed
Raccoon washed his meal that night
for the man, taking the poison bled
as Moccasin recoiled at the bitter bite.
In the darkness dwells a man slayer
his sting of death for all meant
the creatures marvel this redeemer
man with the potion heavenly sent.
