Shadowed

Shadows shroud the ground,

The forest is drowned.

Leaving creatures in silence,

As they sweep ahead without guidance,

Bringing midnight through the trees,

Like a devastating disease.

Opportunists of sunset,

Rising, full of threat,

Staying hidden from the light,

While they grow into the night.

Commanding darkness,

Commanding sound,

Commanding the forest

With the deadliest of crowns.
