Shadow Dancer
Reflection
In the velvet darkness, a presence stirs,
a silhouette of power, a spirit that endures.
The leopard's gaze, a piercing sight,
illuminates the shadows, a beacon in the night.
With fur as black as the surrounding space,
and spots that shimmer like stars in their place,
the leopard's form, a masterpiece of might,
embodies the essence of the wild and free.
The light dances across its tawny coat,
revealing the textures, the stories unspoken.
A symbol of stealth, of patience and of grace,
the leopard's profile, a work of art in its place.
In this portrait, we see a reflection of our own
inner strength, our resilience, our capacity to roam
free in the darkness, to find our way through the night,
and to emerge, like the leopard, a creature of light.
