Velvet Vigilance

In the shadows, a guardian watches, With eyes like embers, glowing bright. The cheetah's form, a study in contrasts, Soft fur and sharp focus, a mesmerizing sight. The dark background, a canvas of night, Highlights the beauty, a wondrous delight. The gentle curve of the neck, a testament to grace, The outstretched paws, a symbol of quiet pace. The spots, like shadows, dance upon the fur, A testament to the wild, and the freedom to roam for sure. In this portrait, we see a story unfold, Of a creature, majestic, young, and bold. The artist's skill, a masterful display, Capturing the essence, in a work of art that stays. A moment frozen, in time and space, A cheetah's vigilance, a wondrous, gentle face.
