Predator and Prey
Darkness, creeping along the ground;
Wind rustling, seeds of doubt abound.
A poisonous villain, seeking its victim.
Light fading, composure escaping;
Nowhere to hide. The game running, tripping.
A pounce. A scuffle; commotion ensues.
A bite, with invisible toxin, subdues.
Frozen, unmoving, breathing decayed.
Fear, the predator. Hope, the prey.
