Something Is Not Right

The moon hangs low tonight.
In the winds of an evil tide.

Clouds ghostly roam the night.
Trees hiss as I walk by

Starlight opens up the night.
Darkness shimmers at the river side.

Cold lapping on groaning wood
Owl screech pierces life over dead mud.

Reflected silhouette is what I see
The cold dark figure that is me
No warmth, no light.
Something just isn’t right, something else is here this night.
