Analysis of tigers eye
in the tigers eye i see,
fastened deep below the surface,
a storm rages and then calms.
lightning strikes the midnight sky,
the oceans breakwaters dash the beach,
in the tigers eye i see.
in the shadowy after darkness,
the storm has shattered its only harness.
in the nights of evils blackness,
the tiger opens one eye and then the other.
