“The Predator with Blue Eyes� By Justine Kenney One never knows the power of a predator One never sees the soul in the eyes One looks past the blueness of the sky But would one truly know, always see, and never look past the predator with blue eyes? A predator with blue eyes has a soul A soul the color of water A predator with blue eyes has power Power to kill and create A predator with blue eyes always turns to the sky The sky that holds the Sun The Sun that creates the world The world that holds and cares for the predator One never knows the will of a creature One never sees the spirit in the body One looks past the whiteness of the snow But would one truly know, always see, and never look past a creature with a body of white? A creature with a white body has a spirit A spirit no one can contain A creature with a white body has the will The will to survive and protect A creature with a white body has the purity of snow The snow that covers the ground The ground that grows life Life that feeds the creature What would happen if these two were combined? The predator with blue eyes and the creature with a white body? What would be? What could be? What should be? One will never know, never see, and look past the should, would and the could One will only guess What was the predator, the creature, the blue eyes, the white body? One should have seen it One could have known it One would have never looked past it The predator with blue eyes
