Breathe out, footfall,
Silent as death.
Inhale, next paw,
Can't be seen yet.
Breathe, stride longer,
Motive certain.
Breathe in, drift on,
Leaves trod unheard.
Breathe out, two paws,
Closer the better.
Inhale, can't stop now,
Almost can taste it.
Prey turns head; Alarm.
Heartbeat, heartbeat, stillness.
Exhale, body gets low,
Ghost of the Wilderness,
Too skilled to be foiled.
Prey resumes his grazing,
Ears still perked for trouble.
Breathe deep, green eyes glaring.
Stealth-- Mask of the Cougar.
Muscles in harmony.
Stalk in grass, slink through shadows,
Breath-- and heartbeat, in rhythm.
Sheathed claws, edges razor-hone
