Midnight Wandering
One Saturday I went walking through the deep dark woods at night
It was clear and cool, the stars were out , the moon shone bright
I came upon a crooked tree , a haunted figure all alone
Twisted and bent ,fingers wide, stretching out to meet the sky
One finger pointing straight ahead to the old graveyard , It did not lie
The mossy stones faded and washed away , a haunted site , an old forgotten burial plot
Eerie echoes touched my ears , a deathly scream ,footsteps nearby, a hounds chilling reply
I passed over lifeless sandy ground forgotten from yesterdays barren lot
Silence ,sudden and deep moved through the woods as shadows danced and branches creaked
Panic overwhelmed as a frightening cold gripped my soul and I lay frozen, pinned to the ground
I can not move nor can I try to rise from this deathly spot of earth
Paralyzed by blinding fear, I felt another presence, foul and evil with no life there in front of me
Stalking my mind , clutching my soul .and I can do nothing but wait and see it take its toll
It saps my strength and drains my soul , it wants to see my vision die
I appeal to my inner self , my comfort and joy for strength to beat this foul thing
I felt the love deep within , bursting forth like a pure white light
Immediately its power lessened and onward I felt my love
It loosened its grip and I arose , determined to beat this demon with all my love
As I left this area I seemed to hear , a quiet whisper in my ear
I am still here waiting watching, stalking who ever comes to walk my woods
I am in your dreams , I live beyond the great black wall , come look for me if you dare
