PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I begin to dance with the night

Running wild and free

Then I feel a presence

Wrapping itself around me

But there's a dark shadow

Taking form on the other side

I follow but it's already gone

Tell me why it must hide

I can almost see it now

But it doesn't look the same

I laugh at my own nonsense

Then I realize it's not a game

My quiet forest disappears

All I see is empty space

I feel the darkness returning

Then we're face to face

It's the shadow I saw before

Dark and black as night

The other presense is with me

Not within the normal sight

Weapons are drawn as a duel begins

My strength is lost as I fall to my knees

The only light is from the moon above

And then the shadow flees

I glance at the remaining presense

A single tear runs down my cheek

In my heart I know the truth

I can't see it now for I am weak

But the presense takes my hand

And wraps me in its embrace

I thank it for protecting me

As realization falls into place
