               The Riders

When the moon be shrouded
by a hazy veil....
and time slows down this midnight hour
the ‘Riders’ come...
dark, silent, on wings of the wind
etching a path through the billowing fog
which swirls and closes in behind...
on and on...seeking the villages of the living...
riding through deserted streets
vaguely phosphorescent in the dim lamplight.

Six will be taken tonight!....

The fleeting shadows flicker, then fade...
The ‘Riders’ are gone!.....
