The Shadow of Sirius
©2002 Gregg Jacobus

Soaring with mystic rapidity
Through dark and formless voids
Strange unearthly creatures from a time before man
Voyaging back where their ancestors once tread

Silent beings with deep gaping maws
Eternally hunger
For the souls of the damned and righteous alike
To feast upon them in ravenous slaughter

Their kind banished in a time long gone
They seek now their return
From distant nether reaches where the twin stars lie
Their prisons abandoned with dark hearted glee

Massive profusion racing towards dawn
With instinct they follow
Past cold, dark-sided orbs of no interest to them
Returning to the sphere one time known as home
