Lurking

     He lurks through the cold night
while he fills all eyes with fright.
      nocturnel, is what they say
but he survives the bright light that we call day.
      He gives no sound
he is hard to see
       but they who have seen
tell about how he looks, how he seems
        and he has never appeared in ones dreams...
but in mine,.. he has
       lurking through the darkness
and avoiding light
       still he works, lurking until night is done
and the sun has risen and begun
        he is still there
just never seen
        but he is and will always be there
haunting my dream
