Dark quiet nights
Mischief plays among us silently
Creeping around in open shadows
And dimly lit corners
Voices like the wind that howl
Answering silent cries form others among them
Clambering in the broken trees
Bathing in the murmuring brook
Throwing pebbles and catching sparrows
Chick-a-dees and finches off guard
They hide on old rabbit holes
Digging away to find I new tree
Tomorrow is another day
A new dawn to sleep
But tonight it�s time to play
The golden moon is the only clouded light
Hissing praise and bowing heads
Pointed ears pinned back
Black hair flowing forward to the ground
Others� hands raised to the sky
Fingers outstretched to the stars
Grasping for extended life
Ageless like the grass
Swaying freely in the light breeze
The trees moan to the whispering song
Foxes howl in the glistening fields
Shattered rituals an a sudden burst of flame
Scattered screams of undying pain
Uttering words of forgotten love
A new life will begin at first light
Old lives past like yesterday�s dawn
