Night Shadows
Night Shadows
In mid-October,
when the moon is full
The night is over-cast
in bright moon-light
and dark strange shadows
and even feint gray colors
splashed here and there
and in these shadows
in the short twilight
of the vernal night
happy enchanted
spirits play hide and seek
Dancing and playing
Running and jumping
as evil spirits lurk close by
waiting to frighten
or taking fright
fleeing and shrieking
back into the night
