Panther

Emerging from dappled shadows dim
        Panther skulk speaks compassion's incessance 
                 Gentlest ally protects all Creator's kin
        Hunter's bulk subdued by sweet breath essence


                Hot wafting exhale compels creatures 
           Fragrance soothes universal firm friendships
               Mottle spot camouflage flank features
           Manuscript of many talents shared intensive


             Granted allegiance nurtures frightened 
        Hundred eyed hide has stealth of God on Earth
             In Panther's presence, fears quietened
       Caterwaul roar at tomb mouth reclaims His turf
