The Moon casts shadows in dwindling light
To the sound of the wood pigeon’s haunting cry…
Lulling the creatures of the night
While stealthily we stalk our prey…
Undergrowth crackling beneath our feet,
Overhead a tawny owl takes flight
Dissolving into the indigo sky…
As darkness descends and nature sleeps,
Preparing for another day…
