Velvet Vigilance
Reflection
In the shadows, a guardian lies,
With eyes that burn like golden skies,
A cheetah's gaze, both fierce and bright,
Pierces the darkness of night.
The soft fur, a cloak of might,
Conceals the power, the speed, the light,
That lies within, a burning core,
A symbol of grace, forever more.
The whiskers tremble, the ears perk high,
As the world slumbers, the cheetah's eye
Remains alert, a sentinel true,
Watching, waiting, through all we do.
In this stillness, we find our peace,
A reflection of our own release,
From the world's din, from the world's strife,
To the quiet strength of inner life.
