Creatures of the Night

As I leave my room to wander down a trail that has arose my curosity I set down on the ground to enjoy the beginnning of the night

Creatures of the night

Setting on the ground looking up I see a jet passing the moon

Leaving only a dark shadow of smoke behind

The dew is beginning to fall

the grass is wet.

the night is still silent

but not for long

soon it will wake

Already I hear the chirping of the crickets

slowly I am being moved to another planet

an alien world

yes my journey has begun

I can hear the creatures of the night calling in the distance

the call is being answered from somewhere close behind

for it is loud and strong

The night has awaken

my journey has begun

I will go nowhere , yet I will go far

Just let the night take me where ever it wants me to go

it is a journey of great advernture and danger

I must stay alert

I must be aware of all that surrounds me

for the night belongs to the animals

and I am just an intruder

trying to escape from the real world.

The whipporwhills have begun to sing

the owl is hooting whatever wisdom he has to offer tonight

the tree frogs are forecasting rain

Suddenly

The night grows deathly quietly

even the crickets are silent

they have sensed danger

A danger so great it has silenced even the loudest of creatures

I set quietly , waiting

unsure of where the danger lies

slowly the sounds return

The crickets start to play their errie songs

soon the other animials join in

It will go like this all night

with great waves of noise

Loud enough to reach the distance stars

and silence deep enough to reach your very soul and beyond.
