A Shadow In Moonlight
I see them cluttered in my mind
The ravenous wolves that stalk me
My eyes shuttered, yet I'm not blind
Tears drop as leaves from willow trees
Fear settles like dust on my tongue
Consuming my will to appease
Gray shadows encroach from the wood
Fate approaches; claws and fangs bared
Eyes flaming beneath each furred hood
I've lost the fight to save my soul
Closer, they come, boldly snarling
My plight consigned to their control
Hostile hunters answer to 'Death'
I feel the strife of enmity
And smell the sour stench of their breath
Their howling spikes this morose night
The forest is calling my name
I am a shadow in moonlight
