In night there is serenity
In night there is  obscenities
Why can there be these two?
There's nothing we can do
The night takes on a brand new life
different from all other strive
In night everything though tranquil
tiptoes the robber underfoot
though us not knowing.
The night takes on eyes of their own
millions staring and waiting to devour
when you turn your head.
Vagabonds begging for your only dime
making you want to scream
to make them listen and hear you say
just let me breath and be me
as the darkness ensnares the moon
my footsteps walk faster towards
my room.
I hear the dogs howling,
the cats screeching
the rats wanting to come above
at night
chase us all away from this darkness
that keeps us behind closed doors.

There is something going on here besides prehalloween though.  It's just a hunch!  I liked it!

THX  I think it's the on-coming of Autumn when things begin to settle down and it's so nice and calm seemly but is it?  The night just takes on a different ambiance.
