The Tiger’s Song,

by J. W. Cassandra

"The Tiger's Song" can be found in the second cycle of my poetry book, entitled "Eternity Awaken into Self-Consciousness". The cycle is entitled "The Firestorm of Creation". This is its seventh poem.

At the prime of Creation, the Fairy, the Dragon, and the Tiger appear as creative forces. This is followed by their dance and then their song.

The Dragon's dance was characterized by wild rage and the storm of elements, while the Tiger appears as the Dragon's enemy. The softness of his movements contrasts with the ferocity with which he attacks the Fire Dragon. Its song itself is the expression of the attacking, triumphal force: "fire against counterfire". The poem has an irregular pulsation, which also reflects the swirling emotions. The frame depicts the triumphal force against the Dragon on the wild night of Creation in the image of the Tiger.

Have a pleasant reading time!

On the wild night born by Creation
The Tiger appeared: yellow flame.
It is sneaking softly, unbridled temper
Leads it: the force, the raging, the wild.

It is sneaking, its yellow flame flashes with fire –
Fire dragon struggles in its sharp claws.
"Counterfire against fire, yellow flame is
The only real remedy!
My yellow flame devours,
My claw is tearing you apart."
The Tiger growls,
the force, the raging, the wild.
The Dragon roars, its fire burns –
The Tiger wins, the force the unrestrained, the wild.

On the wild night born by Creation
The Tiger flashes: a stripped yellow flame.
It is sneaking softly, unbridled temper
Leads it: dragon-slaying power, raging, wild.
