Gotcha

We dash and dart
among the dew glistening trees.
Our protection concealed within circular metal,
within the shadow stands the waiting guard.

The wind stings my skin
as I gallop towards the base,
I'm a warrior in battle
fighting for peace in the land.

I stand hidden,
watching tiny figures
run and hide under the moon
waiting for the seeker to come.

A voice whispers,"Gotcha."

I've lost the war.
I try to escape,but
his helpers take me down.
I have been found.

This piece represents just plain fun. I'm running freely in the night playing hide and go seek with my friends. It's the classic game we all played as kids concealed in poetry. My inspiration was my inner child.
