Paul Warren Poet Ballad

Those Who Wait

The full moon shone down
On them as the world spun round
And the magic of its light
Foretold on the dangers lined up against the right

It’s power reinvigorated the festering ones
As they were awakened with their evil  to be done 
They scratched and dug their way out
Once free they slivered and crawled about

And so they waited for the lonely ones 
Lost and searching coming undone
When they pounced on them
Consuming all with nothing left in the end

So if you are out late at night 
Don’t be alone because if just ain’t right 
To be one of the lost souls ended
When they are watching for you in their silence extended.
