Sasquatch

creatures of the shadows of the dawn and the dusk 
older than iron and clay ..blood and rust 

the secrets of darkness surviving on the thoughts of others

unstitched by imagination when eyelids are uncovered 

legends told through history and the ages of time 

the lore of folklore in the subconscious mind 

the strength of a god like lightening to a tree 

the unarmed lumberjack bringing the forest to its knees 

the true king of the jungle bipedal in stride 
the forest a hay stack with a needle to hide 

the magicians of flora and fauna cast spells of disbelief

sillohettes fragmented images behind the shadows of leaf 

no shaman nor outcast can ever compete 
with the masters of the forest and all of their feats 

the legends remain shrouded in mystery 
the monster untamed throughout all of history 

many a men have tried on their tracks
many a men have never come back

Very nice John. I have enjoyed researching this monster. He is incredible and powerful. He is very evasive too. One thing for sure he is real.
