Shifting shadows
Like sifting sand
A liquid breeze
Mist in the air
Heightened senses
Body tenses
A breath there
But who is there
Shifting shadows
And lurking ghosts
Cannibal children
And undead hosts
Ghastly horrors
Foggy mirrors
Unclear futures
And murky pasts
Horrid secrets
Have you seen it
Ugly monsters
Watch them fester
Shifting shadows
Best beware
Skulking demons
What a scare
