A Caress Of Shadows

A small child, lost within

A dark forest, his imagination 

Flight, monsters and

Shadows dancing in the

Twilight.

He continues to press forward,

Searching for sanctum;

The thickening night

Obtruding ever closer upon

Him.

His journey brings him to the

Remains of a house, forgotten

With time;

He wanders inside, in search of

Solace, an escape from his

Monsters.

As the Shadows observe the child,

He lies down in the center of the den,

And drifts into his dreams,

Where he is king.
