Poem
The countryside was silent as midnight was approaching On the porch I sat content with a Brandy a toasting The calmness around me on this moonlit tranquil night Whilst drifting clouds curtained, and blanketed her from sight So I arose from my chair intending to retire for the day When a light in the distance outshone the moons display One became two as they disappeared into the black My mind so in overdrive as my thoughts now never lacked Inquisitive as I am, I headed out to investigate It's about an hour from my house, I hope I'm not too late Many miles walking, trudging in the pitch black dark With just a paltry torch, up ahead I see an arc It appears to be connecting, to the two lights I had earlier seen Once again my minds in wander, these lights are actually machines They started glowing brighter as the arc increased in size Then from the light two beings appeared, right before my eyes Initially they were of ashen colour, skeletal empty shapes They now appear to be shape shifting, like me in skin clad drape Into the light they turn, revealing their look to me Human form they certainly are, but hideous they appear to be Before me stands a male and female, with looks you'll never see Where have these beings come from that parade in front of thee He who looks like cyclops with teeth that fills his face She resembles a Masai woman, not really out of place The arc now changes direction, shooting beams into the darkened sky Now other lights appear from the black, it's time to wonder why With care I head off home, witnessing many more lights a falling If they carry what I have just seen, theres more to come a calling http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/fantasy-17.php
