In the Air

When the hunting wolf

Through the forest wanders,

Beware.

Oh beware.

In her eyes there springs a yellow light-

Her prey is near.
Beware

Your scent is in the air.

It's in the air tonight

In the air.

See it prowling, feel it coming

And you better have a care.

It's in the air tonight, 

In the air, 

An element of fear

And you are gonna have to fight.

You linger still in lonely places

Blissfully oblivious to where you are.

But she's been following your traces.

You're on her radar

And she's not that far

Can't you hear her voice now on the wind?

So you better run!

Run while you can

'Cause she's closing in

And you can't win 

She won't stop til she makes the kill.

You better run

While you can!

You'll feel a shiver 

When you see the glimmer
Of her pearly whites.
Before she takes that first sharp bite,

You'll know the stories they were right-

There is danger in the night. 

Then there'll be blood

In the air.

A primal, elemental fear

As you feel the end draw near.

It's in the air tonight,

In the air.

There'll be no one to hear you scream 

Or to wake you from this dream.

If you happen to catch sight of her in the shadows,

Keep your distance

She is vicious.

Take it from someone who knows.

Three Strikes

One appeared on the doorstep.
Two arrived hand in hand.
Three came together
And were well met.

Once I tried to show you my mind.
Twice you seemed to want it.
Three times we purposed to start anew
But good intentions always fell through.

A little is better than glut.
Be still and value the treasure locked in silence.
See things for what they are
Prizing essence above form.

One time is enough for the wise.
Two blows make for experience.
Three strokes are often needed
Before words of reproof are heeded.

Once I fell,
A-shamed of my mistakes.
Twice I stopped abrupt and stood,
Be-set by guilt and trepidation.
Three times I changed courses
Seeing fresh perspective after each trial.
