As silent as shadows
Eyes gleaming in the dark
Forever sought out
Only seen as a mark
Do not doubt
For they shall swipe
And they shall bite
They are and not a smear or wipe
Only ever seen in the White Light
Who would know
Who would go
On a journey to the unknown
Even if to face a great foe
For they are
As silent as shadows
