Ancestor

A ripple across a pond Disturbs the calm A snap of a branch Tells the hunt is on Colored in earth The prey dissipates Absorbs the world And imitates The hunt draws near He can sense his prey The taste of fear Lead this way Not far now Dinners near Around the bend Behind a brush A clever beast waits For the signal, Begin the ambush The hunter tries to escape More prey stand in the way Suddenly he feels fear As spears draw near
