Bewildered
October 31, 2016
Twisted arms of wood reach out to the moon,
dying and frail.
Their secretive voices elicit a fascination,
through inclement winds.
In the dismal light of the moon,
a clearing rests flat atop the hill.
It’s terrifying vacancy
is pervasive in the cool air.
The tall grass scratches at me
with its fragile complexion.
The soft movements of nature
keep the night alive.
This starry fantasy
presents an unparalleled beauty.
Life isn’t so fragile in this moment,
I find a renewed elation.
