Baying of the hounds behind me
Crashing through the trees
I run; A creature hunted
My secret with my life I keep
Running faster
Under branch and over boulder
My hungry feet eating their fill
Of the dark and loamy earth
Those terrible voices
Coming closer
I cross a stream
Splashing water
I can only hope
They lose my sent

Hours later
Dark's descended
I emerge
The voices gone
Only then do I go
Moving homeward
Cub clutched tightly
My precious treasure
My little secret
