Deep and Dark -Woods Shone White In the Moonlight

Woods Shone White In the Moonlight The woods shine white in the moonlight, with Smells and sounds drifting through the night A shift of moonlight illuminates the shivering leaves As they spin and turn hanging tightly to its branches Pools of shadows cast across the ground Giving the whole place a haunting feeling of dread Silence starts my heart to pound fast Numb with fear, I draw my knees up close to my chest Resting my hand upon my knees, laying my head down upon them wearily, Hearing a sound, I freeze drawing a short breath, then rise to my feet to see Moving cautiously, branches creak and leaves rattle in flight As a sharp breeze springs up slicing through the autumn night. Hiding from the faint glimmer of the moon keeping in the shadows Hoping that the blackness around me will leave soon Weak with fear, tears trickle down my cheeks as the night dies The rising sun brings streaks of blue skies and prayers of thank you 12/24/2015
