The Monster in the Dark
Running through the dark I found myself
Approaching the red river revealing the monster
I approached the wavy water cautiously
I grew closer to the monster and felt a connection
Near me the hummingbirds played a sorrowful melody
Almost foreshadowing the killing that would inevitably occur
My fingers grasped the cold and rigid steel pole
Blindly I threw it, hoping to find the game before night came
And so it came swiftly and vanished
Alone, isolated, and one with the world around me
I walked to the paved road with my key
Turning the ignition, I rode home with my latest captures
The remorse hit randomly for I realized I was not brave
Rather I was the real monster creeping in the dark
