Into The Night Poem by Lizzy Scott

In the darkness
The bell tolls.
Sounds allure
Creatures roam.
A chill creeps up my neck
I haven’t experienced this before,
Not like this, not yet.
The moon is full,
The magic strong.
I get the feeling
Something shall go wrong.
Light has fled,
The oceans roar.
Now this,
I haven’t experienced before.
The woods howl,
The darkness grows.
The moon is red,
And dropping low.
The noise is deafening,
Growing with every beat
Of my heart,
The heart that is so weak.
Shivering, shuddering,
Growing cold.
The world seems so, so old.
Now in the night a creature roars.
It spreads its wings
And I see it soar.
Up in the sky,
It takes flight for the moon.
I feel like a mouse
In too big of a room.
All goes on,
Which I am not part of.
How did I get here?
What’s going on?
I can’t remember
The days long gone.
My mind is fleeting,
The creatures, not.
Chills go up my spine
Like they did before.
Something has gone wrong,
And yet the night grows more.
Footsteps behind me,
I fear for my life.
The sound of a voice so old and slithery.
It crackles and pops,
My strength is withering.
The gleam of a blade,
The shadow looms.
The streak of steel
It never comes.
I look behind me,
I see an old man.
Not ordinary, but not so strange,
Why is this happening?
There is no way.
That was the night
When my mind took flight.
The sound of an alarm clock
Cuts through my dreams.
I have an imagination,
Or so it seems….
