Cold grey eyes stare beneath
Murky green swamp water
Filled with hunters and prey
Below a surface scattered with empty lily pads
As hazy sun glints across this pond
Heavy thick forest above
Almost motionless
Lets light break below
Momentarily allowing glimpses
Of the Travelers twisted dreamscape
The feast is underway
Flesh and bone barely visible now
As it sinks deeper into the abyss
The beast below the water
Feasting on remains
Still twitching and draining of life
The splashes of water get slower
And finally stop
The feast is nearly over
Lumbering from the depths below
The monster makes his way up
Back onto the shore across from the Traveler
Who stands in awe of one as brutal as he
Both have the desire for blood
Both have the nature to kill
But only one will remain in this swamp
While the other takes his terror on the road
