Lioness

Beware the instinctive growl Moving slow, proud, sure and straight Of a young lioness on the prowl. Fearless form! Her jungle gait! Look! Her beauty, brazen face Hunting till the sunlight dims. Wary prey! A smooth tireless pace Warms the sinews of her limbs. Roaring sounds! Rampant will! Hushed by stalking's deadly start, All pay homage in the still Revering her primeval art. Eyes of wonder! Eyes of steel! Born to rule and sovereign reign, Mystery cloaks just what they feel Unchallenged in her vast domain.
