Lurking Upon The Shadows

Lurking in the shadows,

Night is all around.

No one can see me,

Lurking in the shadows.

Stealthy as a cat,

Silent as a bat,

Lurking in the shadows.

A scent floats by,

Rousing my hunger.

A movement,

A pounce,

Out of the shadows,

Onto the prey.

It's in me,

It fills me,

It satisfies me.

Now to return,

Lurking in the shadows.
