An Autumnal Requiem

As if I could see them: a pride of panthers lounging on the branches of a Cheshire tree. One disappearing into an autumn night, as the last rose bloom of sunset fades to pink.

What would they tell me if I took the time to listen?

    Rich with atmospheric tension – the wild, striking imagery of panthers against the English landscape, is so intriguing 👌
