Velveteen soft,
agile hunter.
Blackened under the moonlit sky.
Jewels embedded in thy eye.
Forest swept under the wave of mankind.
You fall deeper into despair
or deeper into darkness, under the thicket
and fog of man's erroneous sight.
Likened to His spirit
lurking underneath.
Found with the highlight
of the moon's glow;
fully enlightening
the hidden soul
trapped beneath
man's ego.
