"In the gaze of a lion dwells the shadow; in its presence, eternity."
In black light, fierceness awakens,
the king of symbol and fire keeps watch;
his eyes are an ancient calm,
and his mane, a hymn to greatness.
He does not roar: he imposes eternal strength,
like an ancestral god returned from ego,
guarding between twilight and blind gold
the savage majesty of nobility.
The shadow slowly crowns him,
and time stops within his gaze,
where mystery dwells in silence.
Thus he emerges, immortal and omnipresent,
the beast illuminated by night:
dark, celestial, and powerful.
And in the silence of the dark night,
ancient memory burns in his eyes,
as if the untamed and ambiguous soul
guarded the eternal weight of height.
