Silence is Death

Silence fills the ocean floor  the sight of life is nonexistent,
A shadow dimmers the light that dwells on the bottom,
Fear is felt as the creatures  sense the shadow moving closer,

Fearless, relentless and emotionless,
Prey . . . paralyzed with emotion,
Prey . . . needs to flee,  

The shadow smells its next hunt,

Swish, Swash, Flash

Blood fills the ocean floor

Silence is death
