A shadow in the darkness, a phantom in the night <br />Though you can feel it's presence, it remains just out of sight <br />A ghost, a ghoul, a goblin, a demon, some kind of fiend <br />It remains shrouded in shadow, identity not yet gleaned <br />A fiend shrouded in shadow, a creature of the night <br />Demon of the darkness, it feeds upon your fright <br />An unholy darkened presence, it needs to feel your fear <br />Hiding in the shadows, its' nature yet unclear <br />The bogey man of legend, the thing from nightmares spawned <br />We live in its dark shadow ‘til the breaking of the dawn.<br /><br />Tim Vallie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-shadow-in-the-darkness/
