Indifferent Sky's Child

 

 ***

Midnight whispers weave twain icy pines, 

A hunger awakens, as sky's darkness aligns.

The creature emerges with antlers so high,

A ghastly visage under the winter sky.

 

Amidst the snow-laden trees, its presence does wend,

 A spectral figure, where all life meets its end.

 With antlers like branches, and eyes dark as coal,

 It stalks through the night, consuming its toll.

 

But as dawn breaks, a faint glimmer of light, 

The horror retreats, vanishing from sight.

 Leaving behind a trail of fear and of dread,

 In depths of forest, where lost souls have fled.
