This was a fun prompt, deliberately kept it quite vague...insert your own Cryptic here!

Lyrics

In the shadow of the pines, where the mist hangs low,
Something stirs the leaves, a creature, barely known
Eyes like glowing embers, in the light of the moon
A shape that begs description, gone too soon

Footprints fade where the river bends,
Evidence where the forest ends.
Is it beast or myth, or something more?
A chimera created in the cold war?

The townsfolk speak in knowing tones,
Of a creature that wanders the wild unknown
It trips through time and into our dreams
A phantom born of the in-between.

An elusive creature, wild and free
Example of life’s mysteries
Our knowledge of the world is small
Perhaps we’ll never know it all
