The Night Time Woods

I was walking in the woods alone at night
I saw the cold moon glistening in the dark skies
But I felt the trees cold stern stares staring at me
I turned around in fear, but nothing was near
I looked down the track, but the stares were back
Walking deeper into the woods the sky grew darker from clouds
The wind picks up quickly
Branches swing side to side
Leaves rustling chaotically
I can hear the pitter patter from the rain getting stronger
I hear the overwhelming noises surrounding me
I stand tall and embrace the feelings around me
But I can’t help but fear the animals surrounding me
Birds screeching to find shelter
Wallabies shuffling to hide
But aside from all of that, it’s a blessing in disguise
