The mist covered the
Landscape with a thin
Veil obscure of visual
Surroundings, stark
Hiding the unknown
Dark shadows that
Lurk in the shadows
Ever waiting,quiet
Yet alert with
Watchful eyes
Crawling on its belly
Along the long
And narrow crevice
Unseen leaving no
Imprint upon the earth
Hunger has brought
Him here seeking
To quench his thirst
A desire for blood
To taste and consume
To many days
The gaunt body
Has searched
For food
For fulfillment
His prey drinking
From the rippled
Water beside the
Craggy rocks
Shivering in fear
The scent has
Caught it unaware
Knowledge that it
Is hiding beneath
The blue mist
In that moment
Of reality
And no where
To run, the time
Had finally come
As the beast devoured
His weaker quarry
Sated and complete
He blended into the
Landscape once again
