Frigid wind howls through tall standing pines A sudden break in pressure and silence The lone keening of a wolf echos through the trees Full moon blazing silver ghost light down Glittered forests full of snow reflect I can hear the whispered siren song among the gusts Wendigo Insatiable and wild bidding me to run Unable to resist I charge into the wilderness Frozen acres pass beneath numb feet Faster. Run. Faster. Suddenly lifted by great hulking shadow Faster. Faster. Too fast. O my feet. My burning feet of fire! Then footprints vanished Moaning can be heard way up above the tree line No one would find my bones or flesh Consumed. Nothing left but ash

Ravenous
Frigid wind howls through tall standing pines A sudden break in pressure and silence The lone keening of a wolf echos through the trees Full moon blazing silver ghost light down Glittered forests full of snow reflect I can hear the whispered siren song among the gusts Wendigo Insatiable and wild bidding me to run Unable to resist I charge into the wilderness Frozen acres pass beneath numb feet Faster. Run. Faster. Suddenly lifted by great hulking shadow Faster. Faster. Too fast. O my feet. My burning feet of fire! Then footprints vanished Moaning can be heard way up above the tree line No one would find my bones or flesh Consumed. Nothing left but ash
