Night Creatures

the night is dark and 'oh so quiet, not a soul around to be seen. Trees stand still, moon hides behind clouds. Crickets chirp, and all are asleep. 'Oh mystical night what do you have in store? Something nice, or frightening? Perhaps something more. In these bushes and on the land, creatures lurking,hear that sound! What can it be that we do not see? A thought in our minds,or maybe a reality? Who's to say what is,is not, and who's to say what is ,is? A sound of wind blows by my ear, and all the nights secrets come to be known. A sad and lonely soul is out there, and so are the lost and desperate who care. There are those to who will come in harms way, pray for their soul,pray I say. For who are we to run and hide, When God gave us his son,for us he died! We need hold no fear or anger inside, but love and trust and hope,have pride. But do not be careless or to prideful you see, share what you have in generosity. You have all that you ever will need, so give it away to those who plead. Be loving and honest and kind and true, God in heaven shall reward you. So creatures lurking in the dark night, come show yourselves and what you are. Let no creature or soul be harmed, but let us all gather,do not be alarmed. for the creatures of the night are all at war, doing their duties,and all their deeds, to make life more beautiful for all that care. A creature is a name for the un - known, that are not seen and never alone. Give up your fear to God above, and he shall give all his protection, all his love. Good night to those who are quite leary, and all those who feel dreary. I say to you to all my friends, this is only the beginning,it never will end. Enjoy all you see, and embrace it most dear, for lifes little journeys are alway's so near.
