Distant Hunter

I am the stalker in the night
The hunter, the predator, the carnivore.

I am two eyes glowing bright
Frightening, malevolent, hungry.

I am the shadow outside your fire
Slinking, silent, unafraid.

I am here just look higher
In a tree, hidden by leaves, watching closely.

I am the jaguar
Always creeping, never sleeping, and one with the earth.
