NIght

I'm serene and jittery, a strange feeling washing over me.

Shadows dance inexplicably, taunting my senses, behind me someone, I turn.

No one real, just the ghost of my imagination.

He darts here and there, laughing at my silly fright.

His eyes twinkle, shining from his dark shadow body that is simply air.

I lay in cool grass, he lays beside me disappointed that I pay him no heed.

In the distance I hear more of them dancing unseen in shadows, most haunting others.

Their laughter crickets chirps, their hair long and unshaven are simply leafy branches in the wind.

Their bodies are nothing but shadows, their eyes simply stars.

He surrounds me, cradles me in his arms, covering me in his cloak.

I drift into peaceful sleep.

Imaginative. Well written. Descriptive. Capturing. Beautiful. Just a few words I would use to describe this.
