Velvet Vigilance
Reflection
In the stillness, a guardian watches,
A sentinel of the shadows, serene and poised.
The leopard's coat, a canvas of night,
Adorned with stars, a celestial delight.
With eyes closed, yet alert to the wind,
It rests, a monarch, its dominion unrelinquished.
The rock, a pedestal, elevates its form,
A masterpiece, where art and nature conform.
The lighting, soft, yet dramatic and grand,
Highlights the beauty, of this wild land.
In repose, a story of power unfolds,
A testament to the wild, where freedom holds.
The texture of fur, soft, inviting to touch,
Contrasts with the rugged rock, a sensual clutch.
This moment, frozen, a glimpse into the past,
A leopard's world, where instincts forever last.
