Night Shades

Night shades

Descending in the shadows

Of the moon

Colorless forms floating

Against the darkness

Of the night

Invisible trees are rustling with the wind

Strange round faces emerge suddenly from the darkness

Framed in black

Glowing in the bare moonlight

And soon disappear again

Shadows overcast in many hues of gray

A piercing light insults the darkness

Blinding in our faces

A guard's flashlight

Born without care

In an insolent hand

Disappearing suddenly

Without a sound

And not much sense
