A shadow fell on her face

Eyes closed

Deep in sleep

Unaware she lay

A scream pierced the night

Followed by sirens

Under the starry sky

Moonless

Yet bright

Nothing added up

A mystery it lay

For the shadow had moved on

And so did they

The shadow sought

Yet another soul

For it’s thirst wasn’t quenched

Until he’d savored four

It glided along a footpath

Whence it smelled it’s prey

Fool were he

To roam at that dire place

A shiver he felt

Run down his spine

As his shadow, behind

Was upon him in no time

Heartily fed

The shadow left

Never would it return now

Never could it return now

For it lay in the hands of it’s creator

Hidden from the world of souls

Hidden from the shadows of death…
