Silent Strike

Obsidian velvet Parts the leaves; Silent paws impress The land and in Moonlit shadows; A great specter hides. In one swift flash Of light and shadow-play, Panther takes his prey.

It wasn't until the final line did I realise it was about a big cat as it applies to smaller pussycats too:-) hugs jan xx
