Tonight shines bright, moonlight beam Wildlife shadows move between Hunters and hunted hide in silence Manoeuvre their skill, their instinct as guidance A squawk, a squeal, a wildlife kill A tum now full, a fresh night meal Rustle of leaves, a silent wait Wind echos the sound of a creaking gate The hoot of an owl, screech of a fox Insects living in a rotting old box Rabbits out dining, their little ones in tow Bats ariel acrobatics swoop high and low Natures night matinee draws an end Their beds and safety they will depend The moon slowly dims her light Respite for another survival fight. 23.01.21

You captured the excitement of the night. It made me think of times when A group of us would go looking for land crabs in bushes, at night, with our flashlights. We could hear the sounds of small creatures rustling through the leaves and night owls hooting. You stirred up some good memories in me.

The night holds many secrets that only the moon knows as the hunters and the hunted remain hidden in the shadows. A nicely penned piece, Emilia, I enjoyed the read. Hugs, John
