Dark Is The Night Poem by Suelynn Walters

'Dark Is The Night'

Dark is the night as shadows play
Candle burning in this damp place
Hours ahead before break of day
How I feel my very heart race
With no words to say

Alone here in this large room
So quiet I could hear a pin fall
This place I feel only all gloom
And dare not say what I have saw
By the light of the bright moon

I sense you're near me tonight
How I look about with wide eye
This ghostly figure in sight
The sound of a small like cry
Be gone! I say with all my might
