In the depths of night, where secrets softly tread,

A creature rare, its fur a moonbeam thread,

The horned cat prowls with eyes of mystic hue,

Its story whispered 'neath the starry cue.

~

Its fur, a tapestry of ebony and gleam,

With patterns swirling like a poet's dream,

Each strand like threads of midnight's silken shroud,

Its presence cloaked in an enigmatic cloud.

~

Upon its head, two horns that softly curl,

Like silver crescents, symbols of a world,

Where magic flows through every sinew, vein,

An ancient power few can hope to gain.

~

With feline grace, it moves through shadowed lands,

Its steps like whispers on the shifting sands,

In moonlight's glow, it weaves its mystic song,

As the night world dances, swift and strong.

~

Invisible to all but those who yearn,

To glimpse the secrets that the wise cat discerns,

A guardian of the mysteries untold,

In its gaze, a story slowly unfolds.

~

This cryptic guardian, both wise and meek,

In the realm of dreams, where answers sneak,

With eyes like lanterns in the midnight air,

It leads lost souls to truths beyond compare.

~

Its eyes, two orbs of ancient wisdom's light,

Gaze through the veil of earthly day and night,

In moonlit realms, where spirits play and roam,

The horned cat guides them safely to their home.

~

So, if you chance upon this mystic sight,

A horned cat beneath the moon's soft light,

Remember, it's a guardian of the unknown,

A keeper of the secrets, yet unshown.

By Luke Stackpoole on Unsplash

~

In moonlit tales and whispered lullabies,

The horned cat's presence never truly dies,

A symbol of the mystical, the untamed,

In its shadowed world, where dreams are named.

Kailee phillips

Like it says above my name is Kailee, though many of my friends call me Kit because I tend to draw foxes a lot in my spare time whenever I'm not writing up a storm. I love writing as you can no doubt tell from how I've been posting.
