Moonlit Vigilance

In the darkness, a silhouette stirs, A guardian of the night, with eyes that gleam like stars. The macaque's gaze, a piercing sight, A fusion of wildness and quiet contemplation, a balance of light. The soft fur, a cloak of shadow and light, Inviting the viewer into a world of primal insight. The ears, a testament to the power of listening, A symbol of the wisdom that comes from being still. In this portrait, we find a reflection of our own wild heart, A reminder of the beauty that lies just beyond our urban art. The macaque's vigilance, a call to awaken, To the magic that surrounds us, to the beauty that's unspoken. Let us gaze upon this creature, and find our own inner peace, A sense of connection to the natural world, and the wildness that releases.
