Rising from my

Slumber deep

I walked to the door

Opening wide

To wander blankly

Into the night

Darkness moved

Made some way

Closing behind

As I moved ahead

Ground beneath

Silently squeaked

Hiding things

Unseen from me

Moving branches

Dark and lithe

Trees wave trying

To embrace me

Leaves had gone

Silent and still

Corpses hanging

On the hill

Far in distance

An owl hoots

As twigs few creak

Beneath my feet

And as I reach

The biggest tree

Far inside

The forest deep

To find my disturbed

Sleep and peace

I see the midnight

Long hair free

Glowing eyes

And bare skin

Sitting below

And shedding tears
