‘The Night’

Through the haunted streets

Walked the night,

Bringing darkness,

Solitary sadness,

Sentiments and repercussions.

 

The wind blew

Washing the leaves from the path,

Taking the forgotten letters,

Never to reach the end of their journeys,

Leaving uncertain hearts alone forever.

 

The stars shone in their majesty,

Blinking at the wanderer mysteriously,

Confusing him with their playful glow,

He’ll never get where he wanted to go

Unless he survives until the break of the dawn.

 

The silence of the night stood close,

Lulling every creature on its path

Into a sleep, deep and dark,

Saving them from the anger of the damned

Souls drifting on the wings of the fallen angels.
