The Sly [Poetry]

<div class=text-justify>

A little rustle 
Something in the depths of the woods, seeks
What was that?

Hush, child
Keep your eyes on me
Look not yonder at the dark sly 

An unsettling, loud crunch
Echoes in the deadly silence
A hunter on the prowl

Hush, child
Come into my arms
Away from that sly who seeks and reeks

Dry twigs go snap
Awakening the birds and reptiles
Fluttering Into the sky, scurrying into holes

Hush, child
I'll keep you safe and hidden 
From its deceptive smiles and sharp teeth 

A loud crackle, bold
Hunger flashes and gleams in its eyes 
For a taste of the glowy, bright light

Hush, child
A disguise hides it's umbra from you
A beast layered beneath the skin to seize your light

A deep, growly voice
Patience vanishes and the umbra appears 
Its beauty and sharp teeth, a scary sight

Hush, child
Lay in my arms and be safe
That your light may glow out of its reach.

A calm from one's subconscious in the face of heart-wrenching fear.
