Darkness Falls

DARKNESS FALLS darkness falls upon the strong and meek both need the light of the moon and stars and the coyotes howl for more and more through the forested trees near the stream behind doors - illusions of candles and lamps soft cushions, subsistence, safety under lock and key should the winds howl and splinter the wood, shatter the illusion of four walls and floor, and even the score between man and beast - would the meek grow strong with disheveled knees, would the heart of the strong become meat?
