TheHunter And The Hunted

*****

The hungry hunter silently stalked his cold and weary prey,

moving with caution through the deep snow in the darkness.

The deep snow covered the twigs and leaves under his paws,

this skilled hunter snuck up on his chosen prey with ease.

Black as the darkest hours of the night the hunter was born,

his long body showing signs of superior physical strength.

The hunter’s eyes glowed like the jewels Cleopatra wore,

legend tells us that this hunter could be cunning as well.

But this cunning hunter was ready for some fresh meat,

ready willing and able to devour anything in his path.

The hunter sensed his prey moving around the the dark,

trying only to seek warm shelter from the coming storm.

The hunted one senses the hunter before he turned to him,

his long spear raised in a defensive mode as he faced him.

A slow long menacing growl told the hunted to be careful,

the hunted one slowly retreated back into the dark caves.

But the hunter followed the hunted one into the dark cave,

the hunters sharp fangs and claws ready to do damage.

The hunted one narrowed his eyes at the brave hunter,

he would need no sharp claws or fangs to win the battle.

Inside the darkened cave both was ready to engage in battle,

both circling the other trying to figure out their weak spots.

The brave hunter growls a warning before leaping in the air,

the hunted one immediately raised his spear in his defense.

As the hunter and the hunted one finally met in brutal battle,

both of them were determined to be the winner in the end.

They clash and spill blood as they fight to one of their deaths,

But only one of them will be a survivor in the long going battle.

But the hunter would not be the victor on this cold winter night,

he felt the tip of the hunted one sharp spear pierce his skin.

The injured wolf gave a death howl that the man won’t forget,

then with a vacant look gave up his life and slide to the floor.

The hunter became the hunted one has the man just watched,

the dead wolf would provide with fresh meat and a new robe.

A hungry wolf and a cold weary traveler met on a cold night,

The laws of nature would only let one of them be the survivor.
