Darkness Of The Night
Shining eerily upon the darkness
The orange moon sneers its wretched face
Bearing its luminous eyes into the cold soul of silence
It casts dark illuminating shadows
Crawling and Creeping up the weathered gravestones
Flashing dancing patterns of the dead upon them
Wolves howl in sync in the mere distance
Bearing their vicious, razor sharp yellow teeth
Crying out
Awaiting their unperceived prey in the hollow shadows of the frigid night
The clouds begin to advance over the charcoal black sky
Like darkness binding the light to utter incompetence at dusk
As the rain begins to hail a maddening fury upon the moaning souls
Coming from beneath the damp somber earth
Voices whisper in the blinding fog of the uncanny night
As the mountainous trees sway and creak
Back and Forth, Back and Forth
Swirling its way through the depths and despair of darkness,
The wind lets loose a ruthless attack of fury
Bearing down upon the helpless souls of the belligerent trees
Relentlessly tearing them apart
Limb from Limb
They cry out in agony as the lightening unleashes
A turbulent wrath upon them
Engulfing their lifeless spirits into gleaming red and orange flames of doom
Sunken beady eyes jeering from a distance come suddenly ablaze
As the fiery depths of agony chain its belt of death around them
Clinging to them until they diminish to nothing but smoky black ash
Only two creatures survive the night of the burning forest
Rippling through the night air,
Their bewildered calls of loss to their other selves
Flying fervently in the sky, etching away from the frenzied madness below
Eluding from the killers of the night
Trying to get back to a safe place called dawn
With the illuminating brightness of the guardian sun
