And here is something Simon wrote.
Jeremiah
'He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.'
Lamentations 3:10
I dreamed I went out walking in the wood
at home, a place I knew like the back of my hand,
and with my back against a tree I stood
to hear the river's source run underground.
Out from a grove of figs a lion stalked
toward me, his mane swaying and his paws
patrolling on the grass. With his gaze stuck
on mine, I sat down in that awful peace.
Imagine my relief to see him go.
Afraid to move, I watched as through the air
he vanished, and in his place a vapour strode
and settled in the likeness of a bear.
His dark claws spread like branches over me,
and as I thought of all I had done wrong
his roar gave off the stench of rotten meat;
my cries rose in the sky and turned to song.

See you there!
