Nightly Flight

With outstretched wings,
                                               blocking  the view of the 
                                                moon as it illuminated
                                                     the nighttime sky,
                                                          the demon
                                                             took off
                                                               in his
                                                                flight.

                                              With hopes of grasping
                                               souls as they ascend
                                                   into the darkened
                                                       sky, the devil
                                                         assumed
                                                           control
                                                            of the
                                                            night.

                                            With malicious thought,
                                                 his demonic ways
                                                    could not help
                                                        him in his 
                                                           nightly
                                                           quest.

                                              For  the hand of God
                                               Slapped him down
                                                  Proving  to all
                                                   Who should
                                                      Win and 
                                                       Who is
                                                         Best.
