Man and Beast
He's climbing up the snowcapped mountains,
higher and higher.
He stops and rests, then gets up and
walks and walks
then finds the right place,
there he will wait, just him and his camera.
One hour passes, then two then three still he hasn't seen a thing, but he will stay,
he knows they don't like to come out in the day.
After sometime he drifts asleep
Then wakes when he hears a sound
He grabs his camera, and looks up, there it is
a beautiful creature, the snow leopard, standing right there, just a few feet away,
the man's initial intentions evaporate, as he watches the creature in awe.
The only picture taken is the one of the mind,
a memory, where man and beast courses collide.
