Eyes In The Night

He watches the sun,

As it sets to bring night,

He watches the moon,

As it rises in sight.

He scans the horizon,

With hungry eyes,

He's perched on a cactus,

In search of his prize.

Then he sees it,

It's there then it's gone,

But he is too wise,

To lose it for long.

He flies to a tree,

With prey in his sight,

He attacks his target,

Then disappears into the night.
