Night Shadows

Shadows flit across the valley shading more and more they are pervading. Changing the shapes of all they touch of the big trees standing tall in a clutch. Creeping along altering as it grows here a scary monster lurks and bows, as branches bend in the gentle wind. Out into the clearing slips the hind. Its size blurred in the dark gloom and startling at the water spume As it soars up briefly from the stream churning the water high lighting the beam. As dawn high lights the sky, they fade returning to normal, to dark farewell they bade. Mysteries of night now sleep til dark returns resting hiding under the lush green ferns.
