The Dead of Night
By Mahriya
we live at night.
we come out when you sleep
we linger in your dreams
we poison you with our secrets
we thrive amongst you
the night is ours.
we are the whispers in the trees
the shadows that breathe
the twinkle of the stars
the music course through nature itself
we are in the night.
we are every shiver that shudders
every glint that tinkers
every fear that grips
we are the darkening of the sky.
we are every gasp and every tremble.
every silhouette that stains
the night
