Silently padding through the gloom
in a veil of dripping mist
yellow-green eyes glint in the dark
reflecting soft rays of the moon.
Velvet fur, shimmers in unearthly light
iridescent, phosphorescent, shivering with life
Silent intent, and secret determination
disappears as a hazy illusion.
An earthly creature, with supernatural alignments
One not born of ths dark skin...
A chosen path, rather, a personal epiphany
a move to discover the beast within.
Graceful and deadly, beautiful, mysterious
diliberatly powerful, yet no evil intention
Meditative, restless, and content to wander
nothing can contain this spirit.
Vanishing swiftly, only to reappear in the silver light
sharp eyes gaze deeply from the darkness
Then gone again, like flame and wind
a shadow dissolving in the night.
