Sunset Stalker

The leopard moved with stealth and guile As sunset loomed above, Each step was taking such a while And waiting was so tough... The stalking made his hunger grow, Yet failure was much worse, That's why he walked there, to and fro, With no time to rehearse... A gentle breeze was gliding by, Thus everything seemed calm, But soon at speed something would die, Be killed without a qualm... The leopard knew the sacrifice, Not volunteered at all, Survival always had its price, Something to take the fall... The sun above had no concerns, The clouds could not care less, Another life to dust returns Some predator to bless... The leopard chased his victim hard, Success was his reward And though some have a low regard, His future was assured...
