Silence shattered in the dead of night Deer flee in fright Shadows in the moonlight watching As the master predator stalks his prey Silently creeping not a sound does he make Slowly, stealthily patiently he will wait
Golden eyes watch with anticipation His hunger bloodthirsty A solitary beast so quick so sleek Pounces on his prey without mercy One swift bite One short squeal Silence returns to the night As the leopard sits to feast

For 'demestic' read "domestic"
