somebody's dungeon

Did you ever feel as a child
when at night alone walking
there was someone in the trees
waiting and silently stalking.
Down an urban street with trees
the street lights playing tricks
you didn't want to turn and look
afraid you just might trip.
Afraid if you stopped to look
from in the trees they'd come
so you just keep walking faster
until you have to run.
And when you reached your house
with the sounds of family
you turn to look and realize
there was nothing in the trees.
Just the tree shadows
an illusion of the lights
but when you're just a child
the trees have life at night.

White Rose:  This certainly brought back memories of when I was about ten years old. I liked to go to church in the evening, as they always had special children's programs and I had to walk past fields of trees to get there, with much the same results as you have so well outlined.

Oh this is true, White Rose.  Somehow those in the days when I was a child, it was half way fun to be scard.  Now it must be sheer terror.  Joyce

as a child, I was never scared, but it's different now
