Beautiful Mana, your complex nature
reminds me that you are a fierce one
who came into my life as a domestic pet
when you were once a black panther,
roaming the wild savannah,
stalking your unwitting prey.
Your sweet purr when I stroke
your velvety back fur
seduces me until you are done,
and your sharp teeth pierce my arm,
reminding me to read the shift
of energy as you walk between worlds.
