Shadow of The Moon

Rolling fogs of frosted dew
Diffuse the light of winter's Moon
A creature lurks inside the tomb
With bated breath, awaits the gloom.

It's eyes aglow; it's teeth, so sharp
A subtle movement; a distant bark
A growing shadow; a calling lark
The silent beat of a blackened heart.

The indigo night; a starlit shroud
An ashen pelt; a hungry growl
Prowling death; a bone-deep howl
Fear-chilled beads upon a brow.

An apex hunter; lord of night
Tracks its prey with unnatural sight
The rush of blood; the killing bite
Its only bane; the silver blight.
