Nighttime Cup
The full moon escalates the fears of the night
Leaving shadows from the tall frightening trees
Branches reaching out to the tombstones of fright
Fear envelopes by what people sure believes
The bats scare, ravens bring fear, and moon heightens
Everything in sight the moon laughs and brightens
As the night cools things down, the moon warms it up
Darkness never fully wins the nighttime cup
