the wind danced through the woods on that one starry night
the leaves rustled around the ground
the animals all whispering unheard secrets to each other
and I sat there, watching this all happen
the demented owl perched high on the branches of an oak tree
watching the mice below scurry across the woods floor
the moon disappears behind a massive gray cloud
suddenly the owl hoots and my heart jumps
it is dark and scarey in the forest
the owl swoops down to one of the mice
this is one owl who will be eating well tonight
the tiny mouse squirming in the owls clutches
he is fighting an uphill battle that no one could win
the moon comes back from behind the cloud
just in time to let me watch the owl eat the mouse
the rest of the animals have all gone to bed
the wind has left for a while and now the forest is silent
I am alone and lost with no way out
the fear I feel builds up inside and slowly creeps into my brain
the fear blocks all the reasoning my brain had been trying to do
the massive gray cloud lets tiny drops of water ooze down on me
I am scared, I am lost and I am cold
with no where to go I lay down for the night
hopefully I will be able to find a way out tommorow
