Fear In the Moonlight

The night is very dark with a slight summer breeze, A shimmer of moon peeking through the branches of trees. I hear another’s footsteps in the distance from behind, Hopefully the owner is a person that’s very kind. As I continue to walk faster, a pounding in my heart, The moon gets brighter as the clouds start to part. I turn around as I hear the sound at a quicker pace, Gleefully I laugh as the moon lights up my brothers face.
