The Leopard

Beautiful alabaster:
If I were to lose you, ’twould be a disaster;
Fine body of stone,
So marvelously honed.

Speckled with bursts of black and green,
Sporting a sparkling and elegant sheen.
Though you seem so strong, you are in fact fragile,
And though you cannot move, we know you are agile.
