Windy forest at night

Evening darkly overcast, hungry urgent breeze
Silence, never silent, anger seeking some release
Shades of black, charcoal wraiths, playing in the trees
Choked the horror, of the touch, of the swirling leaves

Diana finds a hole in clouds, sending out her beams
Blacker still the blackest spots, evil living dreams
Autumn trees skeletal, gargoyles in a mausoleum
Arrogant their movements, nothing as it seems

Light; blessed light; safety in the tainted light
Still unwoven tapestry; changes in your sight
Ghost battalions moving, flicker left and right
Brave retreat impossible, terrors sweet delight

Tree is just a tree; there is no need for fear
Hounds of Hell are hunting; taste the bitter air
So soft the gentle touch, leaf into your hair
Rabid Vampire smiles; to fade and disappear

Shadows so extended; liquid dancing wraiths
Fools walk in darkness; someone always pays
Rare beauty in the daylight, now no trace remains
Ghosts and superstition, haunting forest glades

All we see is not all there is
It is easy to say brave words in sunshine
Evening gives a totally different perspective.

Very descriptive writing here and, yes, I so remember walking alone at night in a dark dark forest and I do recall that my imagination did get away with me.... Ouch. I guess, as my pen name suggests, I do prefer to stay, whenever posible, in the light. Smiles. Very well written.

Hello. Fantastic write. I enjoyed the spooky rhythm, beholding a creepy atmosphere. "Autumn trees...arrogant their movements" is beautifully descriptive. Also, cool reference to Diana.

I enjoyed this and yes things go bump in the night...

Off the subject but puts me in mind of a
young friend my husband and I were driving home one dark night. When we came to his street he said, "turn here,
in the daytime there is a tree there " best to you, martyjo
