IN THE DARK OF THE NIGHT by niamh(PP)

In the dark of night

The wind called my name

I stand in silence, listening for the rain

Under the solitude of a crystal clear winter sky

The crescent moon glittering to light the dark of night

I stand in silence

Listening for your voice

The creak of the trees, 

The ripple of a brook

I stare into darkness, not knowing where to look

The wind raging, howling

So raw and fierce

Was it your goal, my soul to pierce?

The air so crisp

The smell of snow

I stand in silence not knowing where to go

Below the tree, its shadow long in the night

With only nature watching my inner fight

Silent tears slide down my face

I Stand in silence, denied of my place

I stand in silence 

Listening for your voice

I stand in silence

left without a choice.
