Chilled by the moonlight
Senses hungrily search for the scent on the wind.
A flicker of an image
Swift movements in the shadows.
Moving by instinct
Guided by hunger and vision
The moon kept at bay as the fog rolls in
Darkness engulfing.
Heavy the night moisture
cold the earth under foot
Searching for the secret things
that dwell in the dark.
Stopping suddenly for an instant
Listening to the silence
The sweet sound of breath divided,
the calling in the soul
Creeping quietly to a place
where the moon penetrates the deepest of the dark
A glimmering pool shines in the darkness,
reflection staring back
Gazing steadily into the reflection,
seeking the dark mysteries there.
An image amongst the stars
and all of heavens and earth.
Matching hunger and fascination
desire and strength
A rippling in the icy waters catches the images
merging them as one for a distinct instant.
Then quickly vanish
leaving only the shining darkness
Clawing at the soul
clinging to flesh
Howling in the wind
creating the sweet sounds
Alas, the night's music fades
As the moon sets and the sun rises
Comfort devoured
Leaving emptiness
