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.

Thank you Ilene, I had a different ending at first and then this one came to me and it felt just right!
