I know, no jaguar still remain

to walk these paths of sacred green;

 Yet, today I heard, released, a roar

sent forth from jaguar throat.

My heart stood still,

and as I turned,

I really do believe,

I caught a glimpse of burnished orange,

deeply spotted velvet black.

Eyes of emerald, flecked with gold,

intently gazed to where I stood.

As I looked back Spirit Cat flashed bright

and flicked its tail,

then vanished into jungle patterns
