The Banner

Along the pavement, on a lonely night, I could see, not a soul in sight. Dark and empty, not a sound to hear, Just a solitary atmosphere. Suddenly behind myself, a tapping I hear ! I froze in my tracks, and trembled in fear ! I dared not turn, I dared not see, I was terrified of what it could be ! As I was thinking, I heard it again ! I asked myself, if I was insane ! At my wit's end, overwhelmed with fear, I finally decided, that the time was here. With apprehensions, I turned around, to face the source of the tapping sound. I saw nothing, just gaping space, was this what I was destined to face ? I waved it away, with a laugh and scoff, But there it came, and threw me off ! That's when I saw a banner hanging, on a fence that it was banging. Tapping gently, in the breeze, the very sound that made me freeze ! All I felt was relief and shame. The wind had played a wonderful game !
