Moonlit Vigilance
Reflection
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.
