This is a poem I wrote back in 2015, about the Tiger, which has always been my spirit animal.
I was born in a Tiger year!
~
TIGER
In misty dreams you
Came to me
When I was only two or three.
A forest dark, and deep, and
Green, I wondered what my dreams
Could mean. You were my friend, my
Spirit kin…a guardian without, within…
I was born into your year, your Tiger Spirit
Always near. Magnificent eyes, shining bright, I
Weep at what now is your plight; endangered in this
Cruel world…victim of the weapons hurled. If only we could
Be at peace…return to dreams without surcease, to that mystery
Forest, in the night, we could try to make it right. I know that you will
Always be, in my dreams…a part of me … Tiger…my Spirit Animal … 🧡
My painting of a tiger

My mom’s painting of a tiger
As I was looking for Tiger songs I found this one, which is a new one for me. I really like it though, as it does remind me of my tiger dreams that I began having when I was very little.

“Tiger in the Night”, by Katie Melua, is on her 2003 album, ‘Call Off the Search”. The music and lyrics are by Mike Batt.

Deep in the forest of my night
You are the one who keeps me strong in this worldYou sleep by the silent cooling streams
Down in the darkness of my dreams
All of my life I never knew
You were the dream I’d see come true
You are the tiger burning brightI was the one who looked so hard I could not see
Now I could never live without the love you give to meI lived like a wild and lonely soul
Lost in a dream beyond control
You were the one who brought me home down to earthFor you are the tiger burning bright
Deep in the forest of my night
All of my life I never knew
You were the dream I’d see come true
You are the tiger burning bright
