Josette Key Poet Rhyme

Children of the Night

Oh, you children of the night
Please don't try to hide.

I know you're there
I can feel your stare
And I know you see me too.

I've seen you lurking in the shadows
On many a moonlit night.
I've seen that look in your cold, dark eyes
That look of ice and fire.

To the unknowing passer by
You seem to be only a shadow
But I know you for what you are
Nothing but evil and power. 

So all you children of the night
Hide in the shadows if you must
But you're really nothing more than dust.

And you can never hide from me.

                                                              Josette Davis Key          2018
