Careful
Careful!
The eyes are watching thee
Shifting in the shadows
Where the claws reach
Greedy and needing
Wanting such a sweet face
Careful!
My voice has no purchase
It doesn't resonate in the air
Dying among the trees
Wounded the echo resounds
But a whisper in thine ear
Careful!
Oh wanderer why haven't you fled
Running from the shadows
That we all did dread
Oh sweet wanderer why! ?
Do you leap into the claws
Careful!
No warnings are beseeching
For you stand along side me
Shouting in anger
Hitting my chest
Looking at other wanderers, pleading...
Careful...
