Ghosts of the Mountains: Snow Leopards

Cold raffia ribbons embrace her fur

Muscles ripple; behold a leap of faith

Vapors of breath, a soft and silent purr

*

Bursts cross the chasm, and outcrops secure

Paws like snowshoes, deep vision of her grace

Cold raffia ribbons embrace her fur

*

Ghosts of the mountains hear cries of the Earth

Hide from the poachers, human a disgrace

Vapors of breath, a soft and silent purr

*

Camouflage your young ones, become a blur

Find your way back home without a delay

Cold raffia ribbons embrace her fur

*

Powerful hind legs spring, precision stirred

Disguise masters, in snow softly they play

Vapors of breath, a soft and silent purr

*

Appear at dark, as nighttime hunters stir

Find food for the young ones in peace we pray

Cold raffia ribbons embrace her fur

Vapors of breath, a soft and silent purr
