The Thunderbird's Shadow

By: Eve Estelle

The night wind whistles,

Rustling the leaves upon blackened trees;

A midnight silence interrupted -

A forest on the outskirts of town,

Stirred from sleep, and legend-bound.

A trail leads through the wild black,

Rumbles of thunder distantly sound,

And with each beat, the gale awakens.

The cracking strike of an electric bolt

Lights the trail for a mere blink of an eye -

Behold the shadow with titanic wings,

Soaring low, and on they fly.

Author's note: Inspired by the Thunderbird legend.
