There In The Night Poem by Dianna Nally

As I lay in my bed, where I can be safe
I see a shadow.
When the sun has gone down behind the mountains
The sky suddenly darkens.
Then from out of the darkness appears a shadow
There in the night.

I look around to see where this shadow has come from
And I see nothing.
But I know there can be no shadow without a body.
I know it comes from something from out there in the night.

As I sit alone in my den, watching the TV
I get this cold and chilling feeling
It's almost as though someone is watching me.
I turn to glance at the window, when suddenly
I again see that shadow
Then it disappears somewhere out there in the night.
