cozy friend when night is near, yet in dark i'm often feared in trees i climb, harvest abounds, mix me up and none is found in cosmos i am big and small; a golden child once breached my walls feed me and too close i roam, your pity may spell my doom

Mud creature most wiggly, protein for bird and ammo for fishermen.

Veiled in twilight, I shift and sway, Guiding the tides, then fading away. A silver mask, a fleeting glow, I hide the truths you long to know. What am I?

I cradle ancient whispers and secrets untold, My jaws gape wide, my teeth lay cold. Darkness is my garment, silence is my song, Within me, the bold may linger too long

I tether a friend with a gentle hold,keeping them close as they wander bold. I control for safety, not mine but yours mans best friend wears me for scheduled tours
