Symbols Of Night Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Symbols of
Night

Bats
Flying
Goblins
Giggling
Prancing
Out
Of
Hedges
Then
Jumping
In
One
Leap
Out
Of sight.

The flowers were
Fading
Light and
Bending
Drying
Desiccated with
The waning day.


Shrouds crying
Ghosts wailing
Shadows flitting
Lamenting
And a distant zooming sound
Rhythmical
In to that gruesome nocturnal scenery


Dawn will come
And bring a little light
To the nocturnal horrors
From the night.
