Shape Shifter

I feel your presence

in the nighttime wind,

I hear your power

calling out,

wild and free,

I feel the excitement,

the pure exhilaration,

knowing no fear,

no inhibition,

only raw animal instinct,

tearing at my insides,

screaming to be free,

craving to be fulfilled,

proud and untamed,

no right,

no wrong;

oh brother;

join my spirit,

fill me with your mystery,

make us one,

running through the night,

our voice crying out,

searching for the scent

of fresh victims,

tasting the succulent kill,

knowing the triumph,

surviving one more day,

this body fades away,

as do all things

of flesh and bone,

and there is only you,

only me,

one creature,

one spirit;

the outside

is only a reflection

of the image inside,

change that

and the rest will follow.
