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
