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.
