Stripes of Night

With claws like daggers, sharp and keen,
the tiger moves a silent machine. 
Its strength unmatched, a force of might,
a hunter born in the fading light.
With senses keen, it hears the faintest sound, 
a whisper of wind on the parched ground.
A burst of speed, a blur of orange fire, 
the tiger strikes, fulfilling its desire.
