The Leopard

Tarangire — Tanzania

Patterns

Patterns of leaves — white wings of faeries

Dabbling the canvas

Jumps my heart!

I see!

Through them

Black rosettes — a silken dress

Diaphanous rippling

Waves

Over muscle and power

Patterns

Jagged

Textured bark of trees

Deceptively pulsing with life

Upon which you sit

Poised

Graceful

Watching

Waiting

Master of the heights

Not close

But still I glimpse

As if in a dream from which I don’t wish to wake

Primal

Holding my breath

Eyes wide with ecstasy

I am forever altered
