Shadows of the Night

Tonight, the moon shall display a dim light For those who shall explore the night Explorers beware... For you approach the night's lair... Slowly, the sun begins to dim the sky's glow, while the moon appears as the last string of hope... Explorers step into the night's jungle, with the moon by their side... Tonight, the moon shall display a dim light For those who shall explore the night Explorers beware... For you approach the night's lair... Crunch! Crunch! was the song of the leaves beneath the explorers' foundation... Khaa Pish! Khaa Pish! was the sound of the mountains' snoring... Gulp! Gulp! was the sound of the river's gentle swallow of water... Swoosh! Swoosh! was the sound of the wind's night time blows... Crunch! Khaa Pish! Gulp! Swoosh! Together a tune is played... As the night sings to its children and caress their heads to go to sleep... Tonight, the moon shall display a dim light For those who shall explore the night Explorers beware... For you approach the night's lair... For this moonlight is a lantern that keeps you away from night's danger and enlightens your way to nature's peaceful night where its beauty attracts many eyes... Nature's peaceful lair has... a waterfall that slides smoothly just like the ride on a carrousel... a canoe drifts away from the shadows of the night as it invites those who are eager to explore and take them to valleys no one can imagine to be there... But, when the ride ends, everything is erased from one's mind... those who took the ride shan't remember how to reach that place once more and what is left are the pieces of memories... when put together... a map emerges to one's eyes... This place is always there but it erases the path to reach to see who's the one that shall remember simple memories... Tonight, the moon shall display a dim light For those who shall explore the night Explorers beware... For you approach the night's lair...

Very sombre and horrific at the same time. Nice play with words.
