😹  LEOPARD 

You look dashing and charming, O leopard. 

I admire you. 

You are the king of the jungle who has strong organs in your body. 

Your arms are the arms of the universe who has hugged me many times And now I really miss you. 

Who are you really? 

Your eyes brighten into an eerie glint when night greets you. 

But even though it doesn't make sense, you are a great predator. So you mean so much to me

You are the one who always accompanies me in joy and sorrow. 

You have soft, golden yellow fur with beautiful black spots. I always wanted to incorporate it into the blanket. 

I want to meet you, leopard. 

I will look for your presence every step in the forest. 

On the ground, on the trunks, branches, leaves, bushes, grass, piles of tree debris throughout the forest. 

But let alone the physicality of your roar, it never passes, it's just an echo in my ears. 

All I saw were the shadows of the sun that was almost setting through the thick trees. 

Where are you, my proud leopard? 

Along with time Seasons change and times change. 

Even though you are a very powerful predator, you are less likely to be attacked by humans who like to hunt you. Until you and other types of predators are gradually threatened with extinction. 

And my leopard. . . . 

Let my tears fall for the burden of missing you and . . . . . . 

This is my promise, for the last time I will cry for you 😭🌹💕
