In my home garden I saw a tiger
Slowly crawling on the dead leaves
I tried to approach, moving in silence
She came and gently put her head on my knees
Her hair was damaged and her teeth decayed
By severe battles and ruthless time
She was just looking for some caring
I barely touched her and I shed a tear
None around to hear me calling
None there to share such a gift
She finally left me alone with my thoughts
Wondering who that tiger might be.
The tiger is you, he just needs some repairing to shine again like it was supposed to..

I know those kind of dreams. They are so deep from the soul. And you awaken with such powerful emotion from them, almost like releasing something so much deeper than our mind even knows.
