The light shines fully on my face
And I command attention.
Strong and proud
I will take charge
where it is needed
and fiercely protect
when challenged unfairly.
My fires and will are
constant and although
the spotlight shines
benevolently
on my actions.
I often retreat to
the coolness of shadow
when wounded or feel
vulnerable.
I am Leo
I am the King of the starry
heavens and beware
the flick of my tail in
exasperation or the
ferocity of my roar.
They are but warnings to
keep your distance
from those people and
things I nurture and protect.
I stand in rapture as
the flame of sun’s rays
ignites my varied passions.
Resolute will and determination
guide my unyielding course
as I move with power
and courage to claim
my place of leadership.
