In the forest the wolf howls
While nearby a bear growls
A spotted owl casts a shadow over the forest
Dropping leaves into the raging torrent
But throughout the forest a cry rings
And all the creatures freeze, even those with wings
The river slows its pace
As out from the shadows steps one filled with grace
A leopardess with a body so sleek
But her amber eyes look bleak
The forest bows to the beautiful feline
And her eyes begin to shine
She sits down and curls her tail over her paws
Her amber eyes sweep over the forest and pause
For they are locked on a small white owl
The leopardess beckons him with a growl
And the little owl flies to the mighty cat
She greets him with a gentle pat
And lifts him onto her shoulder
With a growl she leaps onto a boulder
And the forest bows to the leopardess and the owl
The leopardess leaps and begins to prowl
The little owl still on her back
Keeping the forest safe and the river on track
